What we see on Darwen sites
Darwen grew on paper, wallpaper and textile mills, and several of those sites still house manufacturing today. Mill buildings bring their own gas problems: long pipe runs through several floors, plant rooms squeezed into old boiler houses, and ventilation that was never designed for modern appliances. We are used to tracing pipework through buildings like these and testing it properly.
