Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Rochdale are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
Leased premises
If your Rochdale 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.
