Most Highland businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Legal leak checks
Systems at or above 5 tonnes CO2e need checks at least every 12 months; 50 tonnes and above, every 6 months (longer intervals apply where automatic leak detection is fitted).
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Highland are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
