Before you book in Gillingham
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 Gillingham 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.
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.
Working hours
Most Gillingham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
