Before you book in Potters Bar
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Leased premises
If your Potters Bar 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.
