We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency

The engineer checks joints, valves, components and operating data for signs of leakage.
Record
Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
Before you book in Dudley
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
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.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Working hours
Most Dudley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
