The steps for a project in West Sussex
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating. For sites in West Sussex we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
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 West Sussex
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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.
Types of premises we cover in West Sussex
- 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.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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).
