Planning and permissions
In Scotland, planning conditions for outdoor units depend on the property type and location; conservation areas and listed buildings need particular care.
The survey

Surveys in Saltcoats cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
