Record
Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
Before you book in Burnley
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Burnley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
