Tyne and Wear and surrounding areas
We cover all of Tyne and Wear, including Newcastle upon Tyne, Sunderland, South Shields, Gateshead and Washington. We quote for premises right across Tyne and Wear, including rural and edge-of-town sites.
Postcode districts we cover include DH3, NE4, NE11, NE25, NE32, NE39, NE98 and SR9. In Tyne and Wear, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Included as standard
- Survey of the ceiling void depth and grid
- Pipework, condensate pump and drain connection
- Fresh-air spigot connection where ventilation ductwork is available
- Wired controller or central control
- Commissioning and F-gas records

How a job in Tyne and Wear works
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Tyne and Wear 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.
What to think about in Tyne and Wear
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Tyne and Wear are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Condensate
Most cassettes include a pump. The discharge still needs a route to a drain, which we design at survey.
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.
Premises we work in around Tyne and Wear
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- 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.
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.
