Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
What to think about in Scarborough
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
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.
Leased premises
If your Scarborough 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.
