How a job in Bridgend works
Survey
We measure the space, check the ceiling void, wall construction, glazing and occupancy, and agree where indoor and outdoor units can go.
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. We keep work areas in Bridgend screened and tidy at the end of each day.
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.
Local points to consider
Power
Larger systems need a dedicated supply from the distribution board. We check capacity at survey so there are no surprises on install day.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Bridgend are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Planning and noise
Outdoor units on commercial buildings often need planning permission — particularly on a front elevation, in a conservation area or on a listed building — and councils may ask for a noise assessment.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Bridgend
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Compliance in Wales: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do you also cover Porthcawl, Llantwit Major and Maesteg?

Which postcodes do you cover in Bridgend?
All of them, including CF31. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Which refrigerant will you use?
In Great Britain, new single split systems holding less than 3 kg of refrigerant cannot use a refrigerant with a global warming potential of 750 or more, so most are now R32. Larger systems may use R32, R454B or R410A depending on the equipment. We state the refrigerant and charge in the quote.
Can you install while we stay open?
Usually, yes. We plan noisy or messy work (ceiling access, core drilling) for quiet periods, early starts or out of hours, and keep work areas screened and clean.
