How a visit in Hawick works
Survey

Paperwork
You get recovery records and waste transfer documentation.
Local points to consider
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Leased premises
If your Hawick 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.
