Local points to consider
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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Huyton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
