Where we work around Leicester
Leicester is one of the main commercial centres in Leicestershire, with city-centre offices, retail streets, hospitality venues and business parks on its edges.
That includes premises in LE1 and LE19 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Oadby, Wigston and Earl Shilton. In Leicester, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
What we do
- Survey and unit sizing
- Outdoor unit on wall brackets, a flat roof frame or ground mounts
- Pipework in neat trunking or concealed routes
- Condensate drainage
- Commissioning, remote or wired controls and F-gas records

From enquiry to handover in Leicester
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.
Pipe and wire
Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly. In Leicester we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Things to check in Leicester
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
One outdoor unit, many rooms
Multi-splits save wall space but share a single compressor. For server rooms or critical spaces we recommend dedicated systems.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Premises we work in around Leicester
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
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).
