The steps for a project in Ryde
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Ryde 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.
Local points to consider
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
Working hours
Most Ryde businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Ryde
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.

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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Ryde?
All of them, including PO33. 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.
