Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Ditton
Do you cover Ditton for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Ditton is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Ditton need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Ditton sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Ditton, usually Windsor and Maidenhead council).
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
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.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Ditton
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 explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, on ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Ditton, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Ditton.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Ditton?
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order, so you can show what’s been done.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
If you look after a church or hall such as St Francis Assisi, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.
What your quote should include
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether extra work needs your approval first

Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep a log for each system
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Do not let servicing slip
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
What air conditioning will not do
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Fire strategy sign-off
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
