Access on Handbridge properties is planned around the work: towers or roof ladders for most repairs, full scaffold for re-roofs and stack work — costed openly in your written quote so there are no surprise extras.
Where pavement scaffold or a skip needs to sit on the public highway, the permit goes through Cheshire West and Chester Council, and we allow for the lead time. On tighter streets like Overleigh Road, Eaton Road, Greenway Street, where frontages are narrow and parking is limited, we plan access carefully so the work runs smoothly and considerately for neighbours.
