Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Sevenoaks 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Sevenoaks 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.
