Where we work around Buckie
In a town like Buckie, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer.
That includes premises in AB56 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Lossiemouth (about 20 km), Elgin (about 21 km) and Forres (about 40 km). Buildings across Moray range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval
- Written specification for pricing
