Where we work around Basingstoke
Basingstoke is a large town in Hampshire, with a busy centre, retail parks and industrial estates on its edges. Reading is about 23 km away.
That includes premises in RG21 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Alton, Fleet and Thatcham. Buildings across Hampshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Pipework, condensate pump and drain connection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available

How we work in Basingstoke
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 Basingstoke 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.
Before you book in Basingstoke
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Basingstoke 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.
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 Basingstoke are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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.
