Working in Wednesbury
In a town like Wednesbury, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. West Bromwich is about 4 km away.
That includes premises in WS10 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Tipton, West Bromwich and Willenhall. The legal duty sits with whoever controls the equipment, so tenants and landlords in Wednesbury should agree who arranges air conditioning removal and gas recovery.

Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Wednesbury are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Wednesbury 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.
