Where we work around St Andrews
In a town like St Andrews, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Dundee is about 18 km away.
That includes premises in KY16 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Dundee, Glenrothes and Arbroath. Buildings across Fife range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What is included
- 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

Points to plan for in St Andrews
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around St Andrews are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
