Before you book in Blyth
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Leased premises
If your Blyth 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.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
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.
