What to think about in Melksham
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Leased premises
If your Melksham 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.
