Commercial air conditioning in East Horndon
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. We’re often asked to deal with older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and installs that must fit around trading hours, across ceiling cassettes, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling.
Around East Horndon, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. If a lane or gateway near East Horndon is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
How the job changes from property to property
Offices
Meeting rooms and open-plan areas often need separate control, which VRF and multi-split systems can provide.
Ceiling cassettes
Installing a cassette needs room in the void and a way to drain the water. Many have a built-in pump to lift the condensate, which we check on every service.

East Horndon questions
Can you do commercial air conditioning in East Horndon?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and East Horndon is part of that. Just phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Can I fit air conditioning in East Horndon without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central East Horndon is a short walk from the Thorndon Park 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 local planning authority (for East Horndon, usually Brentwood council).
How soon will you get back to me?
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.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
We don’t carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. What we do is prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report suggests.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
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 it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

A customer’s words
“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.”
