Ayr and surrounding areas
Businesses in Ayr range from independent shops and restaurants to offices, clinics and warehouses.
We work across Ayr's postcode districts, including KA7. Neighbouring towns we cover include Irvine, Kilmarnock and Kilwinning. In Ayr, 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.

How a job in Ayr works
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted. In Ayr we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Ayr
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Leased premises
If your Ayr premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
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.
Typical premises in Ayr
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
