Commercial air conditioning in Colt's Hill, done properly
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Colt's Hill and the rest of Kent. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. We are often asked to deal with comms rooms without enough cooling and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, on VRF systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems.
For a business near Colt's Hill, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What happens on the day
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Somewhere like Colt's Hill, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
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. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them and we handle that for you.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
System by system
VRF and VRV systems
VRF (variable refrigerant flow), also called VRV, connects many indoor units to shared outdoor units. Rooms can have their own temperature settings making it a common choice for larger buildings.
F-gas records and TM44
Good records make both F-gas audits and TM44 inspections easier, and we keep yours in order.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.
