Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly.

What to think about in Grays
Refrigerant rules
Since 1 January 2025, new single split systems holding under 3 kg of refrigerant in Great Britain cannot use refrigerant with a GWP of 750 or more — in practice, R32 or lower.
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.
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Working hours
Most Grays businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Yes. Alongside Grays, we also cover South Ockendon, Gravesend and Dartford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Grays?
All of them, including RM17. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Does a small split need F-gas leak checks?
It depends on the refrigerant charge and type. Many small R32 splits fall below the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold for mandatory leak checks, but they still need installing and servicing by F-gas certified engineers.
Single split or multi-split?
Separate singles are more resilient and can be cheaper for two rooms; a multi-split saves outdoor space. We price both where it is close.
