Slough and surrounding areas
Slough has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.
That includes premises in SL1 and SL95 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Windsor (about 3 km), Maidenhead (about 9 km) and Gerrards Cross (about 9 km).
