How it works in Alton
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork.
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. We keep work areas in Alton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
Points to plan for in Alton
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Alton 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.
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
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 Alton
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
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.
Your questions answered
How much does a ceiling cassette cost in Alton?
Guide prices in Alton run from about £2,450 to £5,695 per cassette, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or restaurant with 2–3 cassettes) costs £5,695–£15,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Bordon, Farnham and Basingstoke?
Yes. Alongside Alton, we also cover Bordon, Farnham and Basingstoke. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Alton?
All of them, including GU34, S42 and ST10. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Do I need a suspended ceiling for a cassette?
Yes, or a ceiling void with access. In solid ceilings a wall-mounted or ducted unit is usually the better option.
Can a cassette bring in fresh air?
Many cassettes have a knock-out for a fresh-air duct, so ventilation air can be connected. The ventilation system still needs designing separately.
