Where we work around Irlam
In a town like Irlam, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Salford is about 10 km away.
We work across Irlam's postcode districts, including M44. We also work in nearby Sale, Eccles and Altrincham. Buildings across Greater Manchester range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What we do
- Room-by-room heat gain and heat loss calculations
- System options with pros, cons and budget costs
- Layout drawings for units, pipework and condensate
- Electrical load and supply requirements
- Noise data for planning or landlord approval

Before you book in Irlam
Diversity
Not every room peaks at once; good design accounts for diversity so central plant is not oversized.
Leased premises
If your Irlam 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.
Coordination
Ceiling, lighting, sprinkler and electrical layouts are coordinated early.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in Irlam
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
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.
