Points to plan for in Westhoughton
R22
Since 1 January 2015, R22 systems cannot be maintained using virgin or recycled R22. If one leaks, the practical fix is usually replacement.
Working hours
Most Westhoughton businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Downtime
We schedule the swap to keep the space usable, often over a weekend.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Westhoughton 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.
Who we work with in Westhoughton
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.

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).
