Galashiels and surrounding areas
Galashiels is a smaller town in the Scottish Borders, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units.
That includes premises in TD1 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Hawick (about 21 km), Kelso (about 24 km) and Peebles (about 24 km). Buildings across the Scottish Borders range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

How it works in Galashiels
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Galashiels 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
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Galashiels are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

Which postcodes do you cover in Galashiels?
All of them, including TD1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is ducted AC quiet?
It can be the quietest option, because the unit is away from the room. Correct duct sizing and attenuation make the difference.
Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
