How a job in Penarth works
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 Penarth we agree timings around your opening hours.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Before you book in Penarth
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Working hours
Most Penarth businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Who we work with in Penarth
- 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 Wales: 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).
