Penarth and surrounding areas
In a town like Penarth, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Cardiff is about 5 km away.
That includes premises in CF64 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Cardiff, Barry and Caerphilly. We give you the records in a form an inspector, insurer or landlord can read, and remind you when the next check is due.

Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Penarth often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.
