The visit, step by step
Survey
We confirm what is to be removed and any making-good required.
Isolate and recover
Power is isolated and refrigerant recovered and weighed.
Remove
Units, pipework and fixings are removed as agreed.
Paperwork
You get recovery records and waste transfer documentation.
Local points to consider
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.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Buckinghamshire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
