Before you book in Battersea
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Leased premises
If your Battersea 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.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Battersea are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
