Rawtenstall and surrounding areas
In a town like Rawtenstall, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Burnley is about 12 km away.
That includes premises in BB4 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Accrington, Bury and Burnley. 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.

From enquiry to handover in Rawtenstall
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Rawtenstall we confirm access and parking beforehand.

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
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.
Local points to consider
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 Rawtenstall are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
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 Rawtenstall
- 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.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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).
