Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
Before you book in Broxburn
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.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Broxburn are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
