How we work in Somerset
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 Somerset 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 Somerset
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Somerset are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Somerset
- 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.
- 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.
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.

Do you also cover Wiltshire and Gloucestershire?
Yes. Alongside Somerset, we also cover Wiltshire and Gloucestershire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
