Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can a rooftop terrace take a pergola?
Often, but rooftops need structural assessment for loading and wind. A specialist will review this before specifying.
Can you help with several hotels?
Yes — tell us how many locations are involved in the assessment and we'll reflect that when matching specialists.
Can work be done around guests?
Installation timing is agreed with the specialist; many commercial installers work to hospitality programmes.
