START WITH THE PROPERTY

Get shared-building consent into the brief

For a Portsmouth flat, identify who can approve equipment on an external wall or shared roof and whether pipework may pass through communal space. Send those rules with your room details.

BEFORE YOU ACCEPT A QUOTE

Check the installation path end to end

A quote should state the permitted outdoor position, indoor unit locations, condensate disposal and visible finishes. If consent is pending, make the price conditional instead of assuming it will be granted.

NEXT STEP IN PORTSMOUTH

Size the rooms once consent is plausible.

A permitted outdoor location does not settle the cooling design. Give glazing and occupancy details for each room so the proposed indoor capacities are justified.
