Brentwood and surrounding areas
Brentwood has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Basildon is about 12 km away.
We work across Brentwood's postcode districts, including CM14. Nearby, we also cover Billericay (about 8 km), Hornchurch (about 9 km) and Romford (about 10 km). In Brentwood, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

How it works in Brentwood
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 Brentwood 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.
Things to check in Brentwood
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
Leased premises
If your Brentwood 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.
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Brentwood
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).
