Commercial air conditioning in Filching
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Typical jobs include offices that get too hot in summer and leak check schedules that have slipped, across server and comms room cooling, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems.
For a hall or similar building near Filching, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Filching.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area

Advice
FAQs for Filching
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Filching?
Yes. Filching is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Will you come out to Filching?
Yes. Filching is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
Not always. Permitted development can cover a heat pump on a house, including an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools since 2025, provided the conditions are met. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it usually comes up, and we tell you at the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
How long does a commercial installation take?
Expect it to take anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference, and we set out the timing with your quote.
What owners can safely do
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Why deal with it now?
When the cooling cannot keep up, staff, customers and equipment all feel it. Planning a replacement or upgrade before the summer is easier than reacting in a heatwave. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- MCS certification for heat pump work
- Enquiries answered the same working day

Cooling for Filching businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Filching. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 3 within half a mile of the centre, such as Filching Manor (grade II). Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
If you look after a church or hall such as The Parish Church of Saint Peter, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. Healthcare premises near Eastbourne District General Hospital need air conditioning that is easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
- Call about warning signs straight away
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort, and we can help set them up.

“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.”
