Before you book in Dudley
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 Dudley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
