How we work in Dundee and Angus
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. In Dundee and Angus we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Dundee and Angus
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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 Dundee and Angus
- 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 Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
