Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Leased premises
If your Solihull 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.
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.
