How we handle F-gas leak checks in Lancing
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency

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.
Things to check in Lancing
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Working hours
Most Lancing businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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.
