Points to plan for in Caernarfon
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Caernarfon 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.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
