A film studio complex near Watford needed temporary cooling for a sound stage during a summer shoot. Standard AC wasn’t an option — the noise would contaminate the audio. We supplied and installed two 50kW portable chillers with fan coil units positioned outside the sound stage, ducting cold air in through purpose-built acoustic baffles. Silent cooling for a week-long shoot, then full removal with no trace we were ever there.

Watford and South Hertfordshire sit just beyond the M25 at the northern edge of our regular coverage area. Watford town centre, the Intu shopping centre, and Warner Bros Studios Leavesden generate significant commercial demand. The surrounding area — Bushey, Rickmansworth, Borehamwood — has a mix of commercial, retail, and high-end residential that frequently needs HVAC and refrigeration services from a London-standard contractor.
