Oldham and surrounding areas
Oldham is one of the main commercial centres in Greater Manchester, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
We work across Oldham's postcode districts, including OL1 and OL95. Neighbouring towns we cover include Middleton, Ashton-under-Lyne and Stalybridge. In Oldham we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
What is included
- Heat load assessment per zone (occupancy, IT, lighting, solar gain)
- Zoned design so meeting rooms can be controlled separately
- Central or local controls, scheduling and set-point limits
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

How a job in Oldham works
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. We keep work areas in Oldham screened and tidy at the end of each day.
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.
Things to check in Oldham
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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Draughts and noise
Units are positioned so air does not blow directly onto desks, with quiet fan speeds selected for meeting rooms.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Oldham 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 Oldham
- 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).
