Covering Hereford and nearby
Hereford is a large town in Herefordshire, with a busy centre, retail parks and industrial estates on its edges. Worcester is about 37 km away.
That includes premises in HR1 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury. Buildings across Herefordshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Access panel for servicing
- Pipework, condensate and controls
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

From enquiry to handover in Hereford
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork. For sites in Hereford 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.
Points to plan for in Hereford
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Hereford 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 Hereford businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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.
