Where we work around Thamesmead
Premises in Thamesmead are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SE2 and SE28 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Barking (about 4 km), Welling (about 5 km) and Dagenham (about 6 km). Many buildings have a mix of older and newer systems, so we record each one separately and nothing is missed.
Included as standard
- Refrigerant recovery into certified cylinders
- Electrical isolation by a qualified electrician
- Removal of indoor and outdoor units
- Pipework capped or removed
- WEEE-compliant disposal with paperwork

Before you book in Thamesmead
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Thamesmead premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
