Things to check in Suffolk
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Suffolk are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Suffolk
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
