Where we work around Torquay
Torquay is a large town in Devon, with a busy centre, retail parks and industrial estates on its edges. Exeter is about 29 km away.
That includes premises in TQ2 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Paignton, Newton Abbot and Exmouth, all within easy reach of Torquay. Buildings across Devon range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Local points to consider
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
Leased premises
If your Torquay 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.
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.
