Commercial air conditioning in Botley, done properly
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, and a fixed-price quote follows. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. We are often asked to deal with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and offices that get too hot in summer, on server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Botley, commercial jobs are typically a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Botley.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Botley
Will air conditioning in Botley need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Botley holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Vale of White Horse council, which is typically the planning authority for Botley.
Is Botley within the area you cover?
Yes. Botley 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.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
