The steps for a project in Hampshire
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 Hampshire screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Hampshire
Return air
Every ducted unit needs a return air path; we design it rather than rely on gaps under doors.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Hampshire 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.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
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.
Who we work with in Hampshire
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- 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.
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.

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.
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.
