How a visit in Helensburgh works
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency
Each system gets the legal interval for its CO2e and any automatic leak detection.
Check
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.
Local points to consider
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
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.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Leased premises
If your Helensburgh premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
