Things to check in Camden Town
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Leased premises
If your Camden Town 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.
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.
