Commercial air conditioning in Colden Common, done properly
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Common call-outs are for older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and commercial systems near the end of their life, across server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
Businesses near Colden Common often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What happens on the day
Our engineers 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 anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Seeing the property in photos first helps us plan the trip to Colden Common.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Colden Common
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Colden Common?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 10 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Colden Common. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Colden Common, normally Winchester City council) when it matters.
Do you cover Colden Common for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Colden Common is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
What we are called out for in Colden Common
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We act on the recommendations and bring the records up to date, so you can show what’s been done.
The things we are asked about most are:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
If you look after a school such as Colden Common Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

What commercial work looks like in Colden Common
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Colden Common. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
