From enquiry to handover in Braintree
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 Braintree 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.
What to think about in Braintree
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Braintree are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Draughts and noise
Units are positioned so air does not blow directly onto desks, with quiet fan speeds selected for meeting rooms.
Working hours
Most Braintree businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

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.
