Most Newcastle upon Tyne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.

Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Newcastle upon Tyne are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
