Before you book in Shoreham-by-Sea
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Shoreham-by-Sea 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shoreham-by-Sea are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
