Points to plan for in Durham
Access
Work is planned around tenants, often out of hours.
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.
Water systems
Fan coils depend on the chilled and heating water systems; we coordinate with whoever maintains the central plant.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Durham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
