About our commercial air conditioning in Catmore

Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Typical jobs include leak check schedules that have slipped and server rooms running too warm, across VRF systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.

If you run a village hall or similar building near Catmore, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.

Think of the paperwork as the 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 and it’s worth keeping safe.

What air conditioning will not do

Commercial air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:

  • Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
  • Getting landlord or building owner approval
  • Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls

If you’re not sure, just ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What the work covers

  • Multi-split systems
  • Ducted systems
  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • Ceiling cassettes
  • Server and comms room cooling
  • VRF systems

The process

Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, 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. Visits to Catmore are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
  2. We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
  3. We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
  4. We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
  5. We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

How to get a quote

Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Catmore

A TM44 report, an F-gas audit or an insurer’s question can prompt the call. We act on the recommendations and bring the records up to date, so you can show what’s been done.

Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Commercial systems near the end of their life
  • IT rooms that need resilient cooling
  • F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue

Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Margaret, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Our hiring checklist

Catmore: your questions answered

Is air conditioning in Catmore permitted development?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Catmore. 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 local planning authority (for Catmore, normally West Berkshire council).

Is Catmore within the area you cover?

Yes. Catmore is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.

Do you carry out TM44 inspections?

No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.

Do you protect the property while you work?

Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.

How much does commercial air conditioning cost?

A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.

When is a TM44 inspection required?

Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.

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 escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.

There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

“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.”
