How we handle F-gas leak checks in Bishop Auckland
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.

The engineer checks joints, valves, components and operating data for signs of leakage.
Record
Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.

Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Bishop Auckland often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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 Bishop Auckland
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
