Where we work around Hove
Hove is a large town in East Sussex, with a busy centre, retail parks and industrial estates on its edges. Brighton is about 2 km away.
That includes premises in BN3 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Brighton, Portslade and Shoreham-by-Sea, all within easy reach of Hove.
In Hove we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
Each visit in Hove ends with a written report: what was checked, readings taken and anything that needs attention, priced separately for you to approve.

Points to plan for in Hove
Working hours
Most Hove businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Hove 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.
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.
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.
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).
