Things to check in Atherton
Multiple sites
One schedule and one reporting format across all your sites.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Atherton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
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.
