Working in St Andrews
St Andrews is a smaller town in Fife, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. Dundee is about 18 km away.
We work across St Andrews's postcode districts, including KY16. We also work in nearby Dundee, Glenrothes and Arbroath.
In St Andrews, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Before a visit in St Andrews we ask for the make, model and number of units so the engineer arrives with the right filters, parts and access equipment.

Local points to consider
Working hours
Most St Andrews businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Leased premises
If your St Andrews 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.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in St Andrews 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.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
