If your Congleton 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.
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.

Town-centre jobs in Congleton often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
