Local points to consider
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Gwent businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
