Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Oadby are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Leased premises
If your Oadby 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.
