The steps for a project in Bury
Survey
We record what is installed, its condition and refrigerant, and what can be re-used.
Plan the swap
Removal and installation are scheduled to keep downtime short.

Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Points to plan for in Bury
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Bury 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.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Working hours
Most Bury businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
