Local points to consider
England and Wales

Local Trading Standards enforce it, with a £300 penalty for not having a valid report.

Town-centre jobs in Cheadle Hulme 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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
