How does EEH-Solutions Keep Safe when On-Site?

EEH-Solutions takes site safety very seriously, and we have a comprehensive approach to managing potential risks during all our projects, so here's how we keep safe and address potential issues:

Addressing Unique Property Challenges (e.g., XPS and DPC Line Issues)

Some properties have unique characteristics that require a tailored approach. For example, we sometimes encounter homes where the Damp Proof Course (DPC) line is very close to the ground, which can be an issue when installing XPS insulation boards.

  • Potential Risk: Improper installation of insulation too close to the ground can compromise its effectiveness or even lead to damp issues.
  • Our Mitigation Strategy: When we identify such a situation, we don't guess! We immediately consult with our manufacturers' technical teams. They provide expert guidance, and in these specific cases, we've been advised to install the XPS boards right down to the base of the property, with the EWI then sitting securely on top. This ensures proper protection and performance.

Seamless Coordination for Roofing Works

Our primary focus is on EWI, but we understand how other elements of your home, like the roof, can impact on the overall project.

  • Potential Risk: If the roof isn't extended, it can lead to complications with projects such as EWI installation, potentially leaving parts of the property exposed or creating an uneven finish.
  • Our Mitigation Strategy: As soon as we receive notice that the roof might need an extension to accommodate a project such as EWI, we immediately notify the managing agent. This is a top priority for us, and by flagging it early in the installation process, it allows ample time for arrangements to be made. The goal is to coordinate so that both the project and any necessary roofing works can be completed around the same time, minimizing disruption and ensuring a professional finish.

Smart Power Solutions for Our Teams

We need power to operate our equipment, but we're mindful of your comfort and we seek to avoid any unexpected costs.

  • Potential Risk: Using a customer's household power for our equipment could lead to higher electricity bills for you, causing inconvenience or requests for compensation.
  • Our Mitigation Strategy: To completely avoid this, we provide our operatives with their own independent power sources. This includes generators specifically for their spraying machines and ensuring all other power tools are battery-operated. This means we are self-sufficient and there's no impact on your household power supply or utility bills.

Meticulous On-Site Housekeeping and Safety

A tidy and organized site is a safe site. We take great pride in our on-site management.

  • Potential Risks: Loose materials, tools, or waste can lead to trips, falls, or other accidents for residents, visitors, or our own team.
  • Our Mitigation Strategies:
    • Material Management: All materials are carefully cordoned off to prevent any risk to customers or passers-by.
    • Floor Protection: We use floor protection to mitigate trips and falls, especially in high-traffic areas.
    • Daily Clean-Up: Waste from the installation is collected and cleared out at the end of each day. This keeps the site clear and reduces hazards.
    • Clear Signage: Safety signs are prominently displayed throughout the site to alert everyone to potential hazards.
    • Regular Safety Briefings: We hold regular "toolbox talks" with our operatives to reinforce the importance of site safety and good housekeeping practices. This ensures everyone is constantly reminded of their responsibilities.

Respecting Neighbouring Properties (Party Divides)

When your property shares a wall with a neighbour who isn't having a project such as EWI installed, clear communication is key.

  • Potential Risk: Working too close to a neighbour's property without their knowledge or consent can lead to disputes or accidental damage.
  • Our Mitigation Strategy: For properties with shared "party divides," we proactively request permission from the neighbour. We clearly explain the extent of the planned work that might affect their side. We then have the neighbour sign a confirmation form to acknowledge their understanding and agreement with the planned works. This ensures good neighbourly relations and avoids misunderstandings.

Protecting Wildlife and the Environment

We are committed to environmental responsibility and protecting local wildlife.

  • Potential Risk: Disturbing or damaging protected animal habitats or plant species can lead to legal issues and harm to the environment.
  • Our Mitigation Strategy: If we discover that a property is home to a protected species (like bats or certain birds) or plants, we will immediately halt all work. We then work directly with the managing agent to reach an agreement on how to proceed in a way that protects the species or plants. It's crucial that we are made aware of any protected species before work begins.

By following these rigorous safety protocols and clear communication strategies, EEH-Solutions strives to create a safe, efficient, and hassle-free environment for everyone involved in our projects. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.
