How it works in Accrington
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Accrington we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Set positions
Cassettes are placed against the lighting and grid layout so air reaches the whole space.
Hang and connect
Units are hung on drop rods, connected to pipework and the condensate line.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
What to think about in Accrington
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
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.
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Accrington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Many cassettes have a knock-out for a fresh-air duct, so ventilation air can be connected. The ventilation system still needs designing separately.
