Before you book in Washington
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).
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Washington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
Leased premises
If your Washington 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.
