The steps for a project in St Neots
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.

Local points to consider
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in St Neots often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Heat source
Heat pump air curtains are usually cheaper to run than electric ones.
Leased premises
If your St Neots 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.
