Local points to consider
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Shepherds Bush 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.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do you also cover Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham?
Yes. Alongside Shepherds Bush, we also cover Notting Hill, Chiswick and Fulham. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Shepherds Bush?
All of them, including W12. 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.
