Where we work around Atherton
Atherton is a smaller town in Greater Manchester, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. Bolton is about 8 km away.
Postcode districts we cover in Atherton include M46. We also work in nearby Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh. In Atherton, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
What is included
- Heat load assessment per zone (occupancy, IT, lighting, solar gain)
- Zoned design so meeting rooms can be controlled separately
- Ceiling cassettes, ducted units or wall units to suit the ceiling
- Central or local controls, scheduling and set-point limits
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout

The steps for a project in Atherton
Survey the floor
We look at the ceiling void, the grid layout, window orientation, occupancy and where the outdoor plant can go.
Zone the space
Open-plan, meeting rooms, reception and IT rooms are treated as separate zones with their own controls.
Coordinate the ceiling
Unit positions are set against the lighting and grid layout so cassettes and grilles sit neatly. In Atherton we agree timings around your opening hours.
Install around the business
Work is phased by area or done out of hours so staff can keep working.
Commission and train
Controls are set with sensible limits and scheduling, and we show your facilities lead how to manage them.
Local points to consider
Draughts and noise
Units are positioned so air does not blow directly onto desks, with quiet fan speeds selected for meeting rooms.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Atherton are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Out-of-hours use
If staff work late or weekends, zoning lets you run only the areas in use.
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.
Who we work with in Atherton
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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.
