Working in Lancashire
We cover all of Lancashire, including Preston, Burnley, Blackburn, Blackpool and Morecambe. We quote for premises right across Lancashire, including rural and edge-of-town sites.
Postcode districts we cover include BB1, BB8, BD23, FY3, L40, OL12, PR5 and WN8. Buildings across Lancashire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

The steps for a project in Lancashire
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. In Lancashire we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Lancashire
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
Who we work with in Lancashire
- 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.
- 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.

Yes. Alongside Lancashire, we also cover Greater Manchester, Merseyside and Cheshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Will it keep insects out?
An air curtain can help discourage flying insects, but it is not a substitute for proper insect screening where hygiene rules require it.
Are they noisy?
Modern units are quiet at normal speeds. We select units sized so they do not need to run flat out.
