Working in Consett
Businesses in Consett range from independent shops and restaurants to offices, clinics and warehouses. Newcastle upon Tyne is about 19 km away.
That includes premises in DH8 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Stanley (about 9 km), Chester-le-Street (about 16 km) and Durham (about 19 km).

How we work in Consett
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. We keep work areas in Consett screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Consett
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Consett are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Void depth
Low-profile ducted units can fit voids of around 250 mm, but ductwork adds depth. We measure the route as well as the unit position.
Working hours
Most Consett businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Consett

Compliance in England: 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).
