Commercial air conditioning in Burnham-on-Crouch
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. The work covers ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and installs that must fit around trading hours.
Around Burnham-on-Crouch, commercial jobs are usually a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Most need one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. The visit itself takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Burnham-on-Crouch.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- 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.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Related advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Burnham-on-Crouch
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.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Burnham-on-Crouch: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Burnham-on-Crouch without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Burnham-on-Crouch. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Maldon council, typically the authority for Burnham-on-Crouch.
Is Burnham-on-Crouch within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Hotels and schools
If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
Server and comms rooms
IT equipment produces heat around the clock and the cooling must keep up all year. The design is based on the equipment’s heat output.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
