Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around County Antrim are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Working hours
Most County Antrim businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
