Local points to consider
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Barrow-in-Furness are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
