Points to plan for in Boston
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Boston are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Leased premises
If your Boston 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.
