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

Is it worth repairing an old system?
If it uses R22, has repeated faults or needs a compressor, replacement is often better value. We give you both options.
