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

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shrewsbury are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
