Local points to consider
Multiple sites
One schedule and one reporting format across all your sites.
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.
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
Leased premises
If your Margate 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.
