Act on the report
You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.
What to think about in Tyne and Wear
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Tyne and Wear 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.
Working hours
Most Tyne and Wear businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Premises we work in around Tyne and Wear
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
