Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bow are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Bow businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
