How we handle decommissioning in Greenford
Survey

Local points to consider
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Greenford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Greenford 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.
