Before you book in Kelso
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 Kelso 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.
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 Kelso are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
