From enquiry to handover in Cheltenham
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 Cheltenham 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 Cheltenham
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Cheltenham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
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.
Typical premises in Cheltenham
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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.
Questions about ceiling cassettes in Cheltenham
How much does a ceiling cassette cost in Cheltenham?
Guide prices in Cheltenham run from about £2,250 to £5,150 per cassette, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or restaurant with 2–3 cassettes) costs £5,150–£14,050 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud?
Yes. Alongside Cheltenham, we also cover Tewkesbury, Gloucester and Stroud. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Cheltenham?
All of them, including GL50 and GL52. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
