Our coverage in Leytonstone
Leytonstone sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
We work across Leytonstone's postcode districts, including E11. Nearby, we also cover Walthamstow (about 3 km), Stratford (about 4 km) and Ilford (about 5 km). Buildings across London range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Door size and exposure assessment
- Ambient, electric, water or heat pump air curtain options
- Surface, recessed or concealed mounting

What to think about in Leytonstone
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
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.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Leytonstone are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Types of premises we cover in Leytonstone

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).
