Things to check in East Sussex
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in East Sussex 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around East Sussex are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Leased premises
If your East Sussex 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.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
