Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Catford
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Working hours
Most Catford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
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.
