A ceiling cassette is an air conditioning indoor unit that sits inside a suspended ceiling with only a square grille visible.
March and surrounding areas
In a town like March, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Peterborough is about 23 km away.
We cover every March postcode, including PE15. Neighbouring towns we cover include Wisbech, Ely and Peterborough. Buildings across Cambridgeshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Pipework, condensate pump and drain connection
- Wired controller or central control
- Commissioning and F-gas records

The steps for a project in March
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in March 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.
Points to plan for in March
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around March 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.
Who we work with in March
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
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).
