Local points to consider
Hygiene
Drip trays and coils must be kept clean to avoid biological growth.
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.
Energy
Fan upgrades and better controls can cut energy use significantly on older units.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Croydon are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Premises we work in around Croydon
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
