Bedlington and surrounding areas
In a town like Bedlington, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Newcastle upon Tyne is about 18 km away.
We cover every Bedlington postcode, including NE22. Neighbouring towns we cover include Cramlington, Blyth and Ashington. Buildings across Northumberland range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

How a job in Bedlington works
Measure
We measure the opening and check wind exposure and existing heating.
Select
The right width, air velocity and heat source are chosen.
Install
The unit is mounted and connected to power, water or refrigerant. We keep work areas in Bedlington screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Set up
Door contacts and controls are set so it runs only when needed.
Local points to consider
Controls
Door contacts stop the unit running when the door is closed.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bedlington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Sizing
The curtain should cover the full door width and reach the floor at the right velocity.
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 Bedlington
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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.
