Where we work around Swanley
In a town like Swanley, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Central London is about 24 km away.
That includes premises in BR8 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Bexley, Dartford and Welling. Many buildings have a mix of older and newer systems, so we record each one separately and nothing is missed.

Things to check in Swanley
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Working hours
Most Swanley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
