Things to check in Kidderminster
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
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.
Who we work with in Kidderminster
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
