What to think about in Stanley
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
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.
Pipe re-use
Re-use depends on pipe size, condition, cleanliness and the new refrigerant. We test before relying on it.
Leased premises
If your Stanley premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.

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.
Can existing pipework be re-used?
Often, if it is the right size, in good condition and compatible with the new refrigerant. We test and flush it before relying on it.
