Points to plan for in Felixstowe
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Felixstowe are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Typical premises in Felixstowe
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Which postcodes do you cover in Felixstowe?
All of them, including IP11. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Should we replace R410A systems now?
Not necessarily. If an R410A system is working well and maintained, keep it. Plan replacement when it becomes unreliable or expensive to run.
Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
