Points to plan for in Dover
Summer bypass
A bypass avoids warming incoming air in summer.
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.
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dover are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
