Local points to consider
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Working hours
Most Stroud businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Stroud are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
