Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Leigh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Leigh 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.
