We work across Kendal's postcode districts, including LA9. We also work in nearby Morecambe, Lancaster and Barrow-in-Furness. Buildings across Cumbria 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 Kendal
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Kendal we confirm access and parking beforehand.

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

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Things to check in Kendal
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Working hours
Most Kendal businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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 Kendal
- 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.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
