Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kempston 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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Leased premises
If your Kempston premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
