That includes premises in OX16 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Bicester, Daventry and Leamington Spa. The legal duty sits with whoever controls the equipment, so tenants and landlords in Banbury should agree who arranges air conditioning removal and gas recovery.

What to think about in Banbury
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
Who we work with in Banbury
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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.
