What to think about in Horwich
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
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.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Horwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
