From enquiry to handover in the Isle of Wight
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in the Isle of Wight
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Isle of Wight often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
