Points to plan for in Catford
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
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.
Integration
Heat recovery pairs well with air conditioning, which handles the room heating and cooling.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Catford often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Catford
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
