Points to plan for in Hazel Grove
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.
Leased premises
If your Hazel Grove 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.
