Before you book in Newmarket
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.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Leased premises
If your Newmarket 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.
Typical premises in Newmarket
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
