Before you book in Finchley
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Finchley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
