Planning rules for outdoor units in Northern Ireland differ from Great Britain's, so we check your property with you and the council where needed.
The survey
On a survey in Carrickfergus the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
