Covering Richmond and nearby
Premises in Richmond are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in DL10 and TW9 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Isleworth, Hounslow and Barnes. Before a visit in Richmond we ask for the make, model and number of units so the engineer arrives with the right filters, parts and access equipment.
What the job covers
- Asset survey and register (type, refrigerant, charge, CO2e)
- Scheduled service visits (quarterly, six-monthly or annual)
- F-gas leak checks at the legal frequency, with records
- Written reports for every visit
- Annual summary and replacement planning

What to think about in Richmond
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
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.
Legal leak checks
Systems at or above 5 tonnes CO2e need checks at least every 12 months; 50 tonnes and above, every 6 months (longer intervals apply where automatic leak detection is fitted).
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Premises we work in around Richmond

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
