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.
Points to plan for in Bow
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Leased premises
If your Bow 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.
