Before you book in Armagh
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Armagh are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
