Things to check in Chingford
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Working hours
Most Chingford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
