East Lavington: your questions answered
Will you come out to East Lavington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in East Lavington?
It depends on the property. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central East Lavington. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for East Lavington, usually Chichester council).
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
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 tell you why.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in East Lavington
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup, so a single fault doesn’t leave the room without cooling. Common call-outs are for changes of use that need a new layout and leak check schedules that have slipped, across ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and VRF systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near East Lavington, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What else we do in East Lavington
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
Different systems, different jobs
Hotels and schools
If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
F-gas records and TM44
For systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, the operator is responsible for leak checks and records. We do the checks and give you the paperwork.
When to call us in East Lavington
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
Common reasons people call us include:
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
- Staff complaining about the temperature
Healthcare premises near Midhurst Community Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

How the visit works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it 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 East Lavington.
- 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
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
