Points to plan for in Durham
Frequency
Most commercial systems should be serviced at least once a year; busy kitchens, gyms, salons and server rooms usually need two or more visits.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Durham 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.
F-gas
Where a system is above the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold, the service visit can include the mandatory leak check.
Working hours
Most Durham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Premises we work in around Durham
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
