Local points to consider
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
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 Southampton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Premises we work in around Southampton
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
