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

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.
Leased premises
If your Royal Tunbridge Wells 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.
