The steps for a project in Whitehaven
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 Whitehaven 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.
Things to check in Whitehaven
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.
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.
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.
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.

Is the survey free?
Yes. The site survey and written quote for a new installation are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
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.
