Before you book in Radcliffe
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
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.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Radcliffe are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
