The steps for a project in Canvey Island
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.
Recover and remove
Refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders and the old units removed. We keep work areas in Canvey Island screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and commission
New units are fitted, tested and commissioned with fresh records.
Points to plan for in Canvey Island
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
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.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Canvey Island 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.
Types of premises we cover in Canvey Island
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.

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.
