Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Banbridge 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.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
