Things to check in Cricklewood
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.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
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.
