Local considerations in Netherlands
- Frequent rain makes roofs, gutters, drains, sealants and entry floors the most common sources of service calls.
- Mild temperatures still call for seasonal HVAC servicing and regular exterior cleaning.
- Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
