Working in Streatham
Streatham sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
That includes premises in SW16 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Mitcham, Brixton and Wimbledon. The legal duty sits with whoever controls the equipment, so tenants and landlords in Streatham should agree who arranges air conditioning removal and gas recovery.
