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

The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in South Ockendon screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in South Ockendon
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Working hours
Most South Ockendon 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.
Typical premises in South Ockendon
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
