How a visit in Peterhead works
Survey

Paperwork
You get recovery records and waste transfer documentation.
Things to check in Peterhead
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Peterhead
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
