Our coverage in Caterham
Caterham is a smaller town in Surrey, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. Crawley is about 20 km away.
That includes premises in CR3 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Coulsdon, Purley and Redhill, all within easy reach of Caterham. In Caterham we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
What we do
- Heat load assessment per zone (occupancy, IT, lighting, solar gain)
- Zoned design so meeting rooms can be controlled separately
- Ceiling cassettes, ducted units or wall units to suit the ceiling
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

How a job in Caterham works
Survey the floor
We look at the ceiling void, the grid layout, window orientation, occupancy and where the outdoor plant can go.
Zone the space
Open-plan, meeting rooms, reception and IT rooms are treated as separate zones with their own controls.
Coordinate the ceiling
Unit positions are set against the lighting and grid layout so cassettes and grilles sit neatly. We keep work areas in Caterham screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install around the business
Work is phased by area or done out of hours so staff can keep working.
Commission and train
Controls are set with sensible limits and scheduling, and we show your facilities lead how to manage them.
Things to check in Caterham
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Caterham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Fresh air
Air conditioning recirculates air; it does not provide fresh air on its own. Many offices need ventilation alongside it to meet the Building Regulations.
Leased premises
If your Caterham 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.
Typical premises in Caterham
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
