Working hours
Most Saddleworth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.

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