The steps for a project in Swanley
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in Swanley we confirm access and parking beforehand.

Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
What to think about in Swanley
Exposure
Windy entrances need more powerful units or a lobby.
Leased premises
If your Swanley 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.
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
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 Swanley
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
