Where we work around Eastleigh
Eastleigh has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Southampton is about 8 km away.
That includes premises in EX39, SO50 and SO97 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Southampton, Winchester and Totton. In Eastleigh we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
What we do
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Supply and return ductwork, plenums and grilles
- Pipework, condensate and controls
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

How a job in Eastleigh works
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Eastleigh 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.
Local points to consider
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Eastleigh 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.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Leased premises
If your Eastleigh 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.
Typical premises in Eastleigh
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
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).

How much ceiling void is needed?
Low-profile units can work in around 250–300 mm, but the duct route often needs more. We measure at survey.
Is ducted air conditioning more expensive?
Usually a little more than a cassette of the same capacity, because of the ductwork, grilles and access panel. In return you get a much cleaner ceiling.
