Covering Finchley and nearby
Premises in Finchley are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in N3 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Golders Green, Muswell Hill and Cricklewood. In Finchley, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
What we do
- IT load assessment (kW) and room survey
- Duty/standby (N+1) unit design
- Low-ambient kits so cooling works in winter
- Rotation and changeover controller

Points to plan for in Finchley
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Finchley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Working hours
Most Finchley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
