Local points to consider
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.
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.
Premises we work in around Gwent
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in Wales: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
