How we work in Nairn
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Nairn 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 Nairn
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
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.
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Nairn
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
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).
