Things to check in Ellesmere Port
England and Wales
Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, systems over 12 kW need inspecting at least every five years by an accredited assessor, with the report lodged on the national register. Local Trading Standards enforce it, with a £300 penalty for not having a valid report.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Working hours
Most Ellesmere Port businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
