Local points to consider
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
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.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Working hours
Most Royal Tunbridge Wells businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
