Working in Wilmslow
Businesses in Wilmslow range from independent shops and restaurants to offices, clinics and warehouses. Stockport is about 10 km away.
That includes premises in SK9 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Cheadle Hulme, Hazel Grove and Altrincham. Buildings across Cheshire range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure
- Supply and return ductwork, plenums and grilles
- Pipework, condensate and controls
- Air-flow balancing and commissioning

From enquiry to handover in Wilmslow
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. We keep work areas in Wilmslow screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Things to check in Wilmslow
Noise
Duct sizes and grille velocities are chosen to keep noise down in quiet rooms.
Leased premises
If your Wilmslow 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.
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.
Typical premises in Wilmslow

- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
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.
