How we handle decommissioning in Gwynedd
Survey

Remove
Units, pipework and fixings are removed as agreed.
Paperwork
You get recovery records and waste transfer documentation.
Local points to consider
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Gwynedd businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Premises we work in around Gwynedd
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Wales: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
