A craft brewery in Lewisham needed process cooling for their fermentation room — consistent 18-20°C year-round regardless of outside temperature. Their existing setup was a couple of domestic portable AC units that couldn’t hold temperature on a warm day. We installed a Daikin split system with precision temperature control, sized to handle the heat generated by the fermentation vessels plus solar gain on the south-facing wall. Consistent fermentation temperatures mean consistent beer.

Lewisham and Catford are in the middle of a transformation. The Lewisham town centre redevelopment, the Bakerloo Line extension plans, and significant residential development across the borough are driving commercial growth. The independent food and drink scene is thriving — craft breweries, specialist bakeries, restaurants, and cafes that all need reliable climate control and refrigeration.

Commercial HVAC Services in Lewisham & Catford

The emerging food and drink production sector in Lewisham is particularly interesting for us — breweries, bakeries, and artisan food producers who need process cooling and cold storage alongside standard comfort cooling. These aren’t off-the-shelf installations; they require understanding of the production process to design the right system. On the more conventional side, the borough’s restaurant sector and the retail market around Lewisham Shopping Centre generate consistent HVAC and refrigeration maintenance work.
