Before you book in Margate
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Margate 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.
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.
Who we work with in Margate
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
