CNC Machine tools limited T/a Solarcam

Most reputable UK installers — including most Norwich-area firms — offer a free desktop survey followed by a paid or no-cost roof inspection. CNC Machine tools limited T/a Solarcam's specific policy isn't published on EnergyRanked; ask when you make initial contact (their website cctvalarms.co.uk is a useful starting point). A red flag would be any installer quoting without ever physically seeing the roof or property.

Search 'find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk' for the trading name. Look at incorporation date, current status (Active vs Liquidation/Dissolved), most recent accounts filing, and director list. A long-trading limited company with up-to-date accounts is a safer signal than a recently incorporated firm.

Key questions: panel and inverter brands (and warranties for each); installer MCS number; expected install lead-time; deposit terms and refund policy if cancelled before survey; who handles the DNO application; and roof/structural inspection responsibility. CNC Machine tools limited T/a Solarcam should answer all of these without hesitation.

Current UK support includes 0% VAT on residential solar PV and battery installs (HMRC zero-rating until at least 2027), the Smart Export Guarantee paying for exported electricity, and — for heat pumps — the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (England/Wales) or Home Energy Scotland Grant + Loan (Scotland). Eligibility depends on the property and the install. Confirm with CNC Machine tools limited T/a Solarcam which apply before signing.

Per the public business listing, CNC Machine tools limited T/a Solarcam list themselves under: Solar panel installation. Confirm whether they handle other renewable categories before scheduling a survey. Some Norwich-area installers sub-contract specialist work (e.g. roof structural checks, DNO applications), so ask what's done in-house.
