Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kirkwall 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.
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Kirkwall are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
