From enquiry to handover in Dagenham
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Dagenham 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.
Things to check in Dagenham
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Dagenham 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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Leased premises
If your Dagenham 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.
Typical premises in Dagenham
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- 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.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
