Things to check in Middleton
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Middleton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
