Before you book in Basingstoke
Noise
Outdoor unit noise is designed in from the start, not fixed afterwards.
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.
Future use
Allow for growth in occupancy or IT load.
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.
Typical premises in Basingstoke
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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).
