Planning and permissions
For most houses in Walkden, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
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. Surveys in Walkden cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
