How a job in Ruislip works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.

Points to plan for in Ruislip
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Working hours
Most Ruislip businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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.
