Things to check in Buckley
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
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.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.
