What to think about in Saddleworth
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Saddleworth 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.

Do you also cover Oldham, Stalybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne?
Yes. Alongside Saddleworth, we also cover Oldham, Stalybridge and Ashton-under-Lyne. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Saddleworth?
All of them, including OL3, OL4 and OL5. 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.
Will a new system be cheaper to run?
Usually. Modern inverter systems are considerably more efficient than equipment from 15–20 years ago, though savings depend on use.
