Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dagenham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Dagenham often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
