How it works in Eastbourne
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Eastbourne we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Eastbourne
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Working hours
Most Eastbourne businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Eastbourne often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.

It can be the quietest option, because the unit is away from the room. Correct duct sizing and attenuation make the difference.
