Working in Dudley
Dudley has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.

Buildings across the West Midlands range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Pipework, condensate pump and drain connection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available
- Wired controller or central control
- Commissioning and F-gas records

How we work in Dudley
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 Dudley 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.
What to think about in Dudley
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.
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dudley are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Who we work with in Dudley
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- 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.
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).
FAQs for Dudley
How much does a ceiling cassette cost in Dudley?

Do you also cover Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford?
Yes. Alongside Dudley, we also cover Brierley Hill, Tipton and Kingswinford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Dudley?
All of them, including DY1 and NE23. 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.
