Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
Things to check in Gainsborough
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
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.
Working hours
Most Gainsborough businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
