What to think about in Kent
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kent 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.
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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
