Points to plan for in Romford
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
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.
