From enquiry to handover in Essex
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Essex we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
Before you book in Essex
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Essex 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.
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Leased premises
If your Essex 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.
Premises we work in around Essex

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
Questions about ceiling cassettes in Essex
How much does a ceiling cassette cost in Essex?
Guide prices in Essex run from about £2,295 to £5,350 per cassette, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or restaurant with 2–3 cassettes) costs £5,350–£14,595 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover London, Hertfordshire and Kent?
Yes. Alongside Essex, we also cover London, Hertfordshire and Kent. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
What size cassette do I need?
It depends on the heat load. As a guide, a compact cassette suits a room of up to about 40–50 m² of office space; larger spaces use bigger units or several cassettes.
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.
