How a job in Canary Wharf works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Canary Wharf screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Canary Wharf
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Canary Wharf premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Canary Wharf 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.
Types of premises we cover in Canary Wharf
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
