Working in Deal
In Deal, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units.
That includes premises in CT14 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Dover (about 13 km), Ramsgate (about 13 km) and Broadstairs (about 15 km). Buildings across Kent range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

How a job in Deal 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 Deal 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 Deal
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
Who we work with in Deal
- 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.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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.
