Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
Working hours
Most Horwich businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
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.
