The West Midlands and surrounding areas
We cover all of the West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Walsall. We quote for premises right across the West Midlands, including rural and edge-of-town sites.
Postcode districts we cover include B1, B14, B29, B44, B74, CV6, WS5 and WV98. Office air conditioning in the West Midlands is priced from a written specification: unit sizes, positions, pipe routes, condensate, electrics, controls and commissioning are all listed.
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
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

From enquiry to handover in the West Midlands
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 the West Midlands 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.
Points to plan for in the West Midlands
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 the West Midlands businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
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.
Premises we work in around the West Midlands
- 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).

How much does office air conditioning cost in the West Midlands?
Guide prices in the West Midlands run from about £2,150 to £4,950 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (office of about 150 m² with 4–6 zones) costs £8,950–£24,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.

Yes. Alongside the West Midlands, we also cover Worcestershire, Staffordshire and Warwickshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Will it disrupt the office?
We phase work by area or work early mornings, evenings or weekends. Most of the noisy work is done before units are hung.
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.
