How a visit in Shipley works
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.
Before you book in Shipley
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Shipley often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Leased premises
If your Shipley 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.
