Before you book in Grays
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
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.
Typical premises in Grays
