Poole and surrounding areas
Poole has the full mix of premises that need cooling and heating: offices, shops, restaurants, gyms, clinics and technical rooms.
That includes premises in BH15 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Bournemouth, Christchurch and New Milton. Buildings across Dorset 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 you get

From enquiry to handover in Poole
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Poole 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.
Things to check in Poole
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Working hours
Most Poole businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Poole 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.
Premises we work in around Poole
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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.

Do you also cover Bournemouth, Christchurch and New Milton?
Yes. Alongside Poole, we also cover Bournemouth, Christchurch and New Milton. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Poole?
All of them, including BH15. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
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.
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.
