Swadlincote and surrounding areas
Swadlincote has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Burton upon Trent is about 7 km away.
That includes premises in DE11 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Burton upon Trent, Coalville and Derby. Buildings across Derbyshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available

How a job in Swadlincote works
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork.
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. In Swadlincote we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
Points to plan for in Swadlincote
Cleaning access
Filters need cleaning regularly, so cassettes should be reachable with a step ladder.
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.
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Swadlincote are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

How often should cassettes be cleaned?
