Leased premises
If your the West Midlands 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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
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.
Typical premises in the West Midlands
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

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.
