The steps for a project in Newton Mearns
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. In Newton Mearns we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
What to think about in Newton Mearns
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.
Leased premises
If your Newton Mearns 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.
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.
Who we work with in Newton Mearns
- 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.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Low-profile units can work in around 250–300 mm, but the duct route often needs more. We measure at survey.
