Before you book in South Ockendon
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around South Ockendon are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
