Points to plan for in Gloucester
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Gloucester 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.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Gloucester
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
