Things to check in Paignton
Repeat failures
If a system has failed several times, we compare the cost of repair against replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Paignton 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.
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 Paignton 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.
