Commercial air conditioning in Catford, done properly
Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The timing is set out with your quote. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and older systems that can’t keep up.
For a business in Catford, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Catford.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Questions from Catford
Do you cover Catford for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Catford falls inside our working area. Just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Catford permitted development?
It depends on the property. The Culverley Green Conservation Area takes in the middle of Catford. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Lewisham council, usually the authority for Catford when it matters.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
As a guide, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We do not carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
Commercial air conditioning in Catford: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 292 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels and guest houses and about 46 schools and colleges in and around Catford, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. VOA council tax data put about 68% of homes in Catford and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 51% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Healthcare premises near University Hospital Lewisham need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule. Offices near Catford Bridge station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.

After we’ve gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not let servicing slip
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and can include it in a maintenance contract.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.
