The steps for a project in Prescot

  1. Check the void

    We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork.

  2. Set positions

    Cassettes are placed against the lighting and grid layout so air reaches the whole space.

  3. Hang and connect

    Units are hung on drop rods, connected to pipework and the condensate line. We keep work areas in Prescot screened and tidy at the end of each day.

  4. Test and commission

    The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.

Things to check in Prescot

Cleaning access

Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.

Access and parking

Town-centre jobs in Prescot 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.

Void depth

Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.

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.

Types of premises we cover in Prescot

  • Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
  • Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
  • Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
  • Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

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.

How often should cassettes be cleaned?

Filters should be cleaned every few months in busy premises, with a full service and coil clean at least once a year.

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.
