Points to plan for in Kelso
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 Kelso 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.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
