Cooling for Ducklington businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 hotels and guest houses and about 8 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Ducklington. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Bartholomew, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Ducklington: your questions answered
Do you cover Ducklington for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Ducklington is within the area we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Ducklington permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Ducklington is a short walk from the Ducklington Conservation Area. 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 West Oxfordshire council, usually the authority for Ducklington.
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.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What we are called out for in Ducklington
When a space is refitted or its use changes, the old layout may no longer work. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load and the system needs to match the new layout.
Look out for any of the following:
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
If you look after a school such as Ducklington Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- If the figure could change on the day

What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Ducklington.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- 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.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. 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.
