Where we work around Islington
Islington sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
That includes premises in EC1P, EC4P, EC50, N1, N1C and N1P and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Highbury (about 2 km), Holloway (about 2 km) and Camden Town (about 3 km). We plan installations in Islington so the noisy work — core drilling, ceiling access, lifting plant — happens when it disturbs your business least.

How we work in Islington
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. In Islington we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
What to think about in Islington
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.
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Islington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

At normal fan speeds modern cassettes are quiet enough for offices and restaurants. We select fan speeds and unit sizes so they are not working flat out.
