Our coverage in Heston
In Heston, commercial premises range from street-level shops and restaurants to offices in converted and modern buildings, many with managing agents and landlord consents to work through.
That includes premises in TW5 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Hounslow, Isleworth and Southall, all within easy reach of Heston. In Heston, 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Heston?
All of them, including TW5. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
