Where we work around Balerno
Most commercial premises in and around Balerno are shops, offices, salons, pubs and small industrial units. Edinburgh is about 12 km away.
That includes premises in EH14 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Currie (about 2 km), Penicuik (about 9 km) and Broxburn (about 10 km).
Buildings across Edinburgh range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Local points to consider
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Balerno 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.
Working hours
Most Balerno businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Leased premises
If your Balerno premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
Questions from businesses in Balerno
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Balerno?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,395–£2,350 plus VAT installed in Balerno, and a ceiling cassette £2,050–£4,750 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £4,750–£15,850 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Currie, Penicuik and Broxburn?
Yes. Alongside Balerno, we also cover Currie, Penicuik and Broxburn. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Can you work outside our opening hours?
Yes. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged, and any extra cost is shown in the quote.
Do you handle landlord consent?
We supply the drawings, unit data sheets and method of fixing your landlord or managing agent will ask for.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
