Points to plan for in Acton
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Acton 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.
Typical premises in Acton
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.

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).
