Things to check in Chatham
Refrigerant leaks
Topping up without finding the leak is a false economy and, for systems above the threshold, a breach of F-gas leak repair duties.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chatham 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.
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chatham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
