The visit, step by step

Local points to consider
Downtime
Each unit is out of action for about an hour while it is cleaned.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around South Shields are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Smells
Musty smells usually mean biological growth in the coil or tray; a deep clean and drain treatment normally cures them.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
