Things to check in East Grinstead
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.
Leased premises
If your East Grinstead premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Old refrigerant
Systems still on R22 cannot legally be topped up with virgin or recycled R22. Repairs on these are limited — replacement is often the realistic option.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around East Grinstead are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
