Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Carrickfergus 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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
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.
