Working in Glasgow
We cover all of Glasgow, from the centre to the business parks and industrial estates on its edges. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include G1, G11, G14, G20, G32, G43, G51 and G76. In Glasgow, 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.
What we do
- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available
- Wired controller or central control
- Commissioning and F-gas records

The steps for a project in Glasgow
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 Glasgow 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 Glasgow
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
Leased premises
If your Glasgow 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.
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in Glasgow
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
