Unsure what the job actually needs? Book a free survey and we will tell you straight — including when a simple repair beats a costly replacement.
Access on Lache 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 Cornwall Close, Hawthorn Road, Sycamore Drive, where frontages are narrow and parking is limited, we plan access carefully so the work runs smoothly and considerately for neighbours.
