Our coverage in Cardiff
Cardiff is one of the main commercial centres in South Glamorgan, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
We cover every Cardiff postcode, including CF10, CF11, CF14, CF15, CF23 and CF24. Neighbouring towns we cover include Penarth, Caerphilly and Barry. For office air conditioning in Cardiff, the survey looks at where the outdoor unit can go, how pipework will reach the indoor units and whether the electrical supply has capacity.
What we do
- 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

How we work in Cardiff
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 Cardiff 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
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 Cardiff 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.
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Typical premises in Cardiff
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Wales: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
