Hamilton and surrounding areas
In Hamilton, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units. Glasgow is about 17 km away.
That includes premises in ML3 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Motherwell (about 4 km), Blantyre (about 5 km) and Larkhall (about 6 km). Buildings across Lanarkshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

From enquiry to handover in Hamilton
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 Hamilton 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 Hamilton
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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.
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.
Premises we work in around Hamilton
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- 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).
