Points to plan for in Rochdale
Filters
Filter grades should match the original design or current guidance for the building.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Replacement logistics
Large AHU replacements need craneage, road closures and careful programming.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Rochdale 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.

- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
