About our commercial air conditioning in Aldworth
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Typical jobs include IT rooms that need resilient cooling and leak check schedules that have slipped, across VRF systems, multi-split systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a business near Aldworth, outdoor units typically 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 explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Cooling for Aldworth businesses
At about 48 miles from central London, Aldworth sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
For a church or hall like St Mary's church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. Schools such as The Downs School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

What affects the quote in Aldworth
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What electrical work the job needs
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The pipe route between the units
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- Your installation or service records

Aldworth questions
Will you come out to Aldworth?
Yes. Aldworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Aldworth need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Aldworth sits inside the Aldworth Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask West Berkshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Aldworth.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
What happens if it’s left?
TM44 inspections are required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs, and we can carry out the work. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a village like Aldworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
