What to think about in Stranraer
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 Stranraer 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.
Leased premises
If your Stranraer 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.
