Local points to consider
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Leased premises
If your Daventry 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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Daventry are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
