Working in St Andrews
In a town like St Andrews, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Dundee is about 18 km away.
That includes premises in KY16 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Dundee (about 18 km), Glenrothes (about 28 km) and Arbroath (about 28 km). In St Andrews, 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.

Before you book in St Andrews
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in St Andrews 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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.

Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
