The Lothians and surrounding areas
We cover all of the Lothians, including Livingston, Musselburgh, Bathgate, Bonnyrigg and Penicuik. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include EH10, EH20, EH25, EH31, EH36, EH41, EH49 and TD13. Buildings across the Lothians range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Compact 600 mm or full-size cassette selection
- Pipework, condensate pump and drain connection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available

From enquiry to handover in the Lothians
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 the Lothians 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.
Things to check in the Lothians
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in the Lothians 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.
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.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
Common questions from businesses in the Lothians
How much does a ceiling cassette cost in the Lothians?
Guide prices in the Lothians run from about £2,050 to £4,750 per cassette, plus VAT. A typical job (shop or restaurant with 2–3 cassettes) costs £4,750–£12,950 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside the Lothians, we also cover Edinburgh, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
How noisy are ceiling cassettes?
At normal fan speeds modern cassettes are quiet enough for offices and restaurants. We select fan speeds and unit sizes so they are not working flat out.
