What to think about in Stirling
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Premises we work in around Stirling
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
