Our coverage in Catford
Premises in Catford are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SE6 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Blackheath, Greenwich and Beckenham. In Catford, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
What is included
- Survey and unit sizing
- Wall-mounted, floor-standing or under-ceiling indoor units
- Pipework in neat trunking or concealed routes
- Condensate drainage
- Commissioning, remote or wired controls and F-gas records

How a job in Catford works
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.
Pipe and wire
Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly. In Catford we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Before you book in Catford
One outdoor unit, many rooms
Multi-splits save wall space but share a single compressor. For server rooms or critical spaces we recommend dedicated systems.
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.
Refrigerant rules
Since 1 January 2025, new single split systems holding under 3 kg of refrigerant in Great Britain cannot use refrigerant with a GWP of 750 or more — in practice, R32 or lower.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
