Things to check in Larkhall
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Larkhall are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Shared buildings
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.
