Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Welling often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
Working hours
Most Welling businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
