Before you book in Chester-le-Street
Switch it off
If water is coming through a ceiling or the unit is tripping, switch it off at the isolator until it is checked.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chester-le-Street 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.
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.
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.
