Points to plan for in Newcastle upon Tyne
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Newcastle upon Tyne are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
Who we work with in Newcastle upon Tyne
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
