Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Workington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.

Town-centre jobs in Workington 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.
