How we handle TM44 inspections in Fife

The accredited assessor inspects the systems and controls on site.
Act on the report
You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.
Local points to consider
Scotland
Regulation 17 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations requires inspection of systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more by an accredited expert, typically every three to five years depending on condition.
Leased premises
If your Fife 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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Fife are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Premises we work in around Fife
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
