Things to check in Hitchin
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Hitchin are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Working hours
Most Hitchin 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 Hitchin 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.
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.
