How it works in Bracknell
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Bracknell we confirm access and parking beforehand.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Working hours
Most Bracknell businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.
Typical premises in Bracknell
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
