How we work in Surrey
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 Surrey 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 Surrey
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Surrey 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.
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Working hours
Most Surrey businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Surrey
- 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.
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).
Common questions from businesses in Surrey
How much does ducted air conditioning cost in Surrey?
Guide prices in Surrey run from about £3,950 to £9,150 per ducted zone, plus VAT. A typical job (reception or boardroom with one ducted zone) costs £4,550–£9,150 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover London, Berkshire and West Sussex?
Yes. Alongside Surrey, we also cover London, Berkshire and West Sussex. 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.
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.
