Before you book in Rochester
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Rochester 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 Rochester businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
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.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
