Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Leased premises
If your Annan 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.
