Things to check in Bedford
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Leased premises
If your Bedford 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.
Fire
Ducts passing through fire-rated walls or floors need fire dampers.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bedford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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).
