Points to plan for in Argyll and Bute
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Argyll and Bute are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Argyll and Bute 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.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Yes. We service most commercial makes and models; tell us the make and model if you know them.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
