How a job in Northumberland works
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 Northumberland we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Points to plan for in Northumberland
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 Northumberland 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.
Working hours
Most Northumberland businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Northumberland
- 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.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

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.
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.
