Before you book in Cricklewood
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Cricklewood often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Leased premises
If your Cricklewood 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.
