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

Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.

Town-centre jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
