Before you book in Didcot
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.
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.
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 Didcot 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.
