About our commercial air conditioning in Alton
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. If the problem is buildings that can’t close for the work and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can help.
Around Alton, commercial work is mostly shops, offices, cafés, restaurants and clinics. Cassette units in the ceiling suit open spaces, while wall units or ducted systems suit smaller rooms.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 6 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Alton. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
For premises near Alton station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.
Alton is about 10 miles south-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Across the GU34 area, we can help with commercial air conditioning. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. We also work in Guildford, around 19 miles away.
Not far from Alton, a recent job of ours was on Castle Street, Farnham (GU9), about 9 miles north-east: installing a Fujitsu multi-split system serving three offices and a client meeting room.

Also in Alton
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Alton?
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Each area has its own hours and heat load, which affects the type of system and controls we’d suggest.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Staff complaining about the temperature
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Lawrence, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. In a town like Alton, parking is usually straightforward, so the main questions are access and timing.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Rented and managed buildings
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns
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.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.
Questions from Alton
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Alton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Alton is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Alton?
It depends on the property. The centre of Alton is in the Alton Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with East Hampshire council, which is typically the planning authority for Alton.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and each visit is recorded.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
