Working in Leek
In a town like Leek, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Stoke-on-Trent is about 16 km away.
That includes premises in ST13 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Congleton, Kidsgrove and Longton, all within easy reach of Leek. Many buildings have a mix of older and newer systems, so we record each one separately and nothing is missed.
Included as standard
- Refrigerant recovery into certified cylinders

Points to plan for in Leek
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Leased premises
If your Leek 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.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Leek often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Leek
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.

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.
