Local points to consider
F-gas
Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around North Shields are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Warranty
Manufacturer warranties often require servicing at set intervals by a competent engineer. Keep the reports.
Leased premises
If your North Shields premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
