Points to plan for in Houghton-Le-Spring
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.
Working hours
Most Houghton-Le-Spring businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
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.
