Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Ballymena 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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Ballymena are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
