Quick answer

Petersfield (GU31/GU32) is in the SSEN area, set in the South Downs. Its affluent rural-detached housing means high-value installs, and we design heritage-sympathetic systems for the Georgian town centre and listed properties.

Petersfield is an affluent South Downs market town with high spend-per-install — large rural detached homes, generous roofs and homeowners who value quality. It is an 18-mile drive from base and firmly SSEN territory.

The Georgian town centre and the surrounding South Downs National Park mean heritage and landscape sensitivity matter; we design discreet, consent-friendly systems for the centre and high-output arrays for rural roofs.
