Common problems we fix in Clatterford End

Ageing systems are a common reason for a call. Parts become harder to find and the system cannot keep up, and replacing it becomes the better option.

  • Leak check schedules that have slipped

  • TM44 recommendations that need acting on

If you look after a school such as The Ongar Academy, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

Questions to ask before booking

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Clatterford End

The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection.

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

Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Common questions in Clatterford End

Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Clatterford End?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Clatterford End. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Epping Forest council, normally the authority for Clatterford End.

Is Clatterford End in your area for commercial air conditioning?

Yes. Clatterford End is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Does my building need a TM44 inspection?

The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.

Will I get records for the system?

Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.

What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?

Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.

Do you work on systems someone else installed?

Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.

From a single flat to a whole estate, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.

Keeping the system healthy

A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Do not let servicing slip
  • Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
  • Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out

Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.

Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.

The process

The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Clatterford End can be planned properly.

  1. It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
  2. You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
  3. Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
  4. Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
  5. The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children away from the work area
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
