What to think about in Barnstaple
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
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.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Barnstaple 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.
