The steps for a project in Berkshire
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. We keep work areas in Berkshire screened and tidy at the end of each day.
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.
Points to plan for in Berkshire
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Working hours
Most Berkshire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Fresh air
Air conditioning recirculates air; it does not provide fresh air on its own. Many offices need ventilation alongside it to meet the Building Regulations.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Berkshire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Who we work with in Berkshire
- 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.

How much does office air conditioning cost in Berkshire?

Do you also cover Surrey, Buckinghamshire and London?
Yes. Alongside Berkshire, we also cover Surrey, Buckinghamshire and London. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Will it disrupt the office?
We phase work by area or work early mornings, evenings or weekends. Most of the noisy work is done before units are hung.
Does office air conditioning provide fresh air?
No — it heats and cools the air already in the room. Fresh air comes from ventilation, which we can design alongside the cooling.
