How a job in Darton works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. In Darton we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Darton
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Darton 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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
