What the job covers
- 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
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

How a job in Canterbury works
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 Canterbury 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.
Local points to consider
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 Canterbury 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Canterbury often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Who we work with in Canterbury
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
