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

The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. In Stratford 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 Stratford
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Stratford 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Stratford
- 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.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
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.
