Working in Chorley
Businesses in Chorley range from independent shops and restaurants to offices, clinics and warehouses. Wigan is about 12 km away.
That includes premises in CW5, PR7, WS13 and WV16 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Horwich (about 7 km), Leyland (about 7 km) and Darwen (about 11 km).

Local points to consider
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.
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Leased premises
If your Chorley 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.
