Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Gainsborough 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 must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Yes. Alongside Gainsborough, we also cover Retford, Scunthorpe and Lincoln. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Gainsborough?
All of them, including DN21. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
