From enquiry to handover in Brent
Survey
We measure the space, check the ceiling void, wall construction, glazing and occupancy, and agree where indoor and outdoor units can go. For sites in Brent we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Design and quote
You get a written specification with unit sizes, positions, pipe routes and a fixed price — plus any planning, landlord or noise points to resolve first.
First fix
Pipework, cabling and condensate runs go in, usually above ceilings or in neat trunking, before the units are hung.
Install and test
Indoor and outdoor units are fitted, the system is pressure tested with nitrogen, evacuated and charged with refrigerant.
Commission and hand over
We set up controls, check air flows and temperatures, show your team how to use it and hand over the F-gas and commissioning paperwork.
What to think about in Brent
Condensate
Every cooling unit produces water. We route it to a drain by gravity where possible and fit a quiet condensate pump where not.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Brent are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Landlord consent
Most commercial leases need the landlord's written consent before external units or wall penetrations go in. We can provide drawings and unit data sheets for the request.
Working hours
Most Brent businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
