Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Christchurch are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Hygiene
Drip trays and coils must be kept clean to avoid biological growth.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Christchurch 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.
