I'm looking to WiFi up one of our locations. We are going to need about 3 or 4 Wireless Access Points. Looking for a product recommendation, requirements are:

Easy to install, can install directly into switch but also into a free network port in other areas. Easy to manage, ideally all the WAP could be managed from one interface and create one coherent network. Rather than having to configure each one using a seperate admin interface. Wall mountable

You might want to look at http://www.pcengines.ch/ for hardware. The ALIX boards support a wide range of software, so you're likely to find something which meets your administrative needs:

I've made VERY good experience with Mikrotik access points. They are based on Linux and are capable of everything (WLAN (anything you can dream of) - you can extend the feature with different cards, BGP, MPLS, switching (with a special switch chip), scripting (alarms), hotspot feature ...).
Take a look at:

In the end I went for a Cisco WAP. As long as you keep the SSID and channels the same they support roaming via 802.11F
