Chessington and surrounding areas
Premises in Chessington are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
We work across Chessington's postcode districts, including KT9. Nearby, we also cover Surbiton (about 3 km), Ewell (about 4 km) and Epsom (about 4 km).

Local points to consider
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Run 24/7
Comfort units are not designed for continuous year-round use. We select equipment rated for it.
Leased premises
If your Chessington 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Chessington?

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.
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.
