Local context

Working in Croydon

We service Croydon Industrial and the surrounding blocks of Croydon, Kempton Park, with access off the R21 and N12. Highveld summers push afternoon ambients past 32 °C with heavy thunderstorm humidity, so condensers here are sized with a generous approach and cleaned before every summer.
