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.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Working hours
Most Thamesmead businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
