- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- Fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning
After we have gone
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Simple control settings help. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Alciston
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. Common call-outs are for R410A systems getting dearer to top up and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, on ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a business near Alciston, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Let and managed properties
Bigger systems bring extra duties: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Questions from Alciston
Is Alciston within the area you cover?
Yes. Alciston is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Alciston permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Alciston is in the Alciston Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Wealden council, which is usually the planning authority for Alciston.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
How long does a commercial installation take?
The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form to book it.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Visits to Alciston are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

When to call us in Alciston
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use, which affects the type of system and controls we’d suggest.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
For a surgery or clinic in the Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
What your quote should include
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
