What to think about in Dukinfield

Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dukinfield 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.
Leased premises
If your Dukinfield premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
