Coach Air Conditioning Specialists
As a long established Coach operator, we at Battersby Silver Grey take
great pride in our fleet maintenance, the same pride is shown in
maintaining our Touring Fleet Air Conditioning units.
In order to
keep our Air Conditioning units in tip top condition, our specialist Air
Conditioning Engineer implements a scheduled maintenance program for all our
fleet in our clean modern workshops.
We also offer this service to other Coach operators throughout the North
West of England.
Full Air Conditioning Service can be carried out at our facility in
Morecambe and, with our fully equipped Service Van, breakdown repair may be
carried out at your Facilities.

Annual Leak Testing
Link to Legislation (.pdf)
Many operators believe their in house
maintenance staff, as part of a regular maintenance program, can carry out annual leakage testing. However, because testing involves a low-pressure leak
test as well as a high-pressure leak test, it requires specialist equipment to carry out.
At Battersby Silver Grey, we
recognise there are a large number of operators throughout the area who do not have the resources to comply with this requirement in house.
To enable these operators to comply
with the legislation requiring annual
leakage testing on vehicle Air Conditioning Systems, we offer this service
at a competitive price.
Should a fault be detected in your system during Leak testing, we always contact you for authorisation before carrying out any
remedial work. Fault free systems will be issued with a certificate to show compliance with this legislation.
