Local points to consider
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
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.
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.
Who we work with in Bracknell
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
