Office air conditioning is a cooling and heating system designed for the heat loads of an office: people, computers, lighting and sunshine through glazing.
Dover and surrounding areas
In Dover, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units.
We cover every Dover postcode, including CT16. We also work in nearby Folkestone, Deal and Canterbury. Buildings across Kent range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
Included as standard
- 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
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

How a job in Dover 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 Dover 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.
Points to plan for in Dover
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 Dover 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Dover
- 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).

What size air conditioning does an office need?
As a rough guide, offices need about 80–125 W of cooling per square metre, more with lots of glazing, dense occupancy or IT. A heat load survey gives the real figure for each zone.
Can each meeting room have its own control?
Yes. We design meeting rooms as separate zones with their own controller, often with limits so set points stay sensible.
