What to think about in Bolton
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Leased premises
If your Bolton 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.
