Before you book in Chester-le-Street
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Leased premises
If your Chester-le-Street 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.
One outdoor unit, many rooms
Multi-splits save wall space but share a single compressor. For server rooms or critical spaces we recommend dedicated systems.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chester-le-Street often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
