From enquiry to handover in Nottingham
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 Nottingham we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Before you book in Nottingham
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
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.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Leased premises
If your Nottingham 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.
Premises we work in around Nottingham
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.

Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

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.
