What air conditioning won’t do

We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Getting landlord or building owner approval
  • Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
  • Issuing TM44 reports

If in doubt, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Where we work

  • Server and comms room cooling
  • Ducted systems
  • Ceiling cassettes
  • Wall-mounted split systems
  • Multi-split systems
  • VRF systems

Commercial air conditioning in Fairstead

Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. 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. If the problem is work raised by a TM44 inspection and changes of use that need a new layout, we can help.

For a business near Fairstead, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What happens if it’s left?

A single system failure in a server room can quickly cause problems. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What you get with us

  • MCS certification for heat pump work
  • We reply to enquiries the same working day
  • An F-Gas certified company, as the law requires
  • One contact for properties across the South East and London

How it works

Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Fairstead easier.

  1. First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
  2. You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
  3. We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
  4. The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
  5. We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
  • Let us know where the consumer unit is
  • Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Getting a price

Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Advice

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Fairstead

Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Fairstead?

There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 10 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Fairstead. 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 Braintree council, which is normally the planning authority for Fairstead.

Is Fairstead in your area for commercial air conditioning?

Yes, Fairstead is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.

How do you keep the place clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.

How does the warranty work?

It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

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 will agree what happens next.

Can you install out of hours?

Yes, the programme is built around the site. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.

What commercial work looks like in Fairstead

The 2021 Census found about 69% of households in terraced houses. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care.

If you look after a school such as Terling Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. For a church or hall like Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

Looking after your system

So the system stays in good health:

  • Diary TM44 inspections in advance
  • Call about warning signs right away
  • Don’t let servicing slip

We show your team how to use the controls so staff can set it up properly. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.

Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.

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.”
