Local points to consider
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
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.
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 Borehamwood are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
