Where we work around Caterham
In a town like Caterham, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Crawley is about 20 km away.
That includes premises in CR3 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Coulsdon, Purley and Redhill. Buildings across Surrey range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Door size and exposure assessment
- Ambient, electric, water or heat pump air curtain options
- Door contact and control set-up
- Connection to the air conditioning system where suitable
- Commissioning

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

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
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.
What to think about in Caterham
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Caterham 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.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Typical premises in Caterham
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- 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.
