What to think about in Prescot
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Leased premises
If your Prescot 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.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Prescot are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Low-profile units can work in around 250–300 mm, but the duct route often needs more. We measure at survey.
