How it works in Gravesend
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route. For sites in Gravesend we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
What to think about in Gravesend
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Gravesend 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.
