Things to check in Broadstairs
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Broadstairs are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
