What to think about in Cumbria
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Leased premises
If your Cumbria premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Cumbria businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Cumbria
