Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.

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.

Most Chingford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
