Points to plan for in Ampthill
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Ampthill 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Ampthill?
All of them, including MK45. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
What temperature should a server room be?
ASHRAE guidance recommends equipment inlet air of about 18–27°C. Many small rooms are set at around 21–24°C to leave headroom if a unit fails.
