Points to plan for in Burnham-on-Sea
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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Burnham-on-Sea are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
