Before you book in Strood
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Strood often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Budgeting
A fixed annual cost and early warning of units nearing end of life.
Leased premises
If your Strood 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.
