Chorley and surrounding areas
Chorley has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Wigan is about 12 km away.
That includes premises in CW5, PR7, WS13 and WV16 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Horwich, Leyland and Darwen. Businesses across Lancashire can combine servicing with any F-gas leak checks their systems need, which saves a separate attendance.

- Fault-finding with diagnostic equipment
- Refrigerant leak location and repair
- Replacement of fans, sensors, boards, pumps and valves
- Re-gassing with recorded refrigerant quantities
- Written report and F-gas record update

Before you book in Chorley
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 Chorley 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.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Chorley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
