Our coverage in Nelson
Nelson has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Burnley is about 4 km away.
That includes premises in BB9 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Colne (about 3 km), Burnley (about 4 km) and Accrington (about 14 km).

Things to check in Nelson
Working hours
Most Nelson businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Nelson are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Nelson 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.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions in Nelson
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Nelson?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,395–£2,395 plus VAT installed in Nelson, and a ceiling cassette £2,095–£4,850 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £4,850–£16,150 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Colne, Burnley and Accrington?
Yes. Alongside Nelson, we also cover Colne, Burnley and Accrington. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. We service most commercial makes and models; tell us the make and model if you know them.
