About our commercial air conditioning in Compton
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. So you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. The work covers VRF systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about R410A systems getting dearer to top up and buildings that can’t close for the work.
Around Compton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: 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.

Commercial air conditioning around Compton
At about 53 miles from central London, Compton sits inside the area we cover across London and the South East.
For a church or hall like The Parish Church of St Mary, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. If you look after a school such as Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
Small faults in a commercial system can spread to the whole building’s comfort. Regular servicing finds problems early, and keeps the system running the way it was designed to. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
How it works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Compton.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Questions from Compton
Will you come out to Compton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Is air conditioning in Compton permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Compton Conservation Area takes in the middle of Compton. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Chichester council, typically the authority for Compton.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. 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 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’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes. We fit the installation around when the building is in use and phase it where necessary.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Pricing commercial air conditioning in Compton
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- How many units are involved
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Quotes don’t 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.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
