Things to check in Kettering
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Working hours
Most Kettering 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.
Leased premises
If your Kettering 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.
Premises we work in around Kettering
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- 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.
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.
