Local points to consider
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Swanley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
