The steps for a project in Bideford
Survey the floor
We look at the ceiling void, the grid layout, window orientation, occupancy and where the outdoor plant can go. For sites in Bideford we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
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.
Before you book in Bideford
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 Bideford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Leased premises
If your Bideford 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.
Types of premises we cover in Bideford
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).

Ceiling cassettes or wall units for an office?

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.
