How we work in Hoddesdon
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 Hoddesdon screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Hoddesdon
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.
Who we work with in Hoddesdon
- 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.
