Where we work around Bournemouth
Bournemouth is one of the main commercial centres in Dorset, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
That includes premises in BH1, BH2, BH7 and BH10 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Christchurch (about 7 km), Poole (about 7 km) and New Milton (about 16 km).
We plan installations in Bournemouth so the noisy work — core drilling, ceiling access, lifting plant — happens when it disturbs your business least.
Before a visit in Bournemouth we ask for the make, model and number of units so the engineer arrives with the right filters, parts and access equipment.

Before you book in Bournemouth
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.
Leased premises
If your Bournemouth premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bournemouth are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
