How a job in Waterlooville 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. In Waterlooville 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.
Things to check in Waterlooville
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Waterlooville 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.
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.
Working hours
Most Waterlooville businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Ceiling cassettes or wall units for an office?
Cassettes suit offices with a suspended ceiling and spread air evenly in four directions. Wall units are cheaper and suit small rooms or solid ceilings. Ducted units are the most discreet.
