Sandhurst and surrounding areas
Sandhurst is a smaller town in Berkshire, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. Woking is about 16 km away.

Buildings across Berkshire 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 Sandhurst
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 Sandhurst 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 Sandhurst
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your Sandhurst premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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.
Who we work with in Sandhurst
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
