In Alloa apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Our Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire coverage takes in Alloa, about 6 miles from Stirling. We cover FK10 and the streets around them.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%. HMRC treats most fixed air conditioners and air-to-air heat pumps installed in homes as energy-saving materials, zero-rated until 31 March 2027 when we supply and fit them. If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in Alloa usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In Scotland, flats are treated differently from houses under permitted development, so we confirm the position with the council where needed.
The survey
A survey in Alloa usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote.
