What to think about in Worcestershire
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Worcestershire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Typical premises in Worcestershire

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