How we handle commercial air conditioning in Five Ashes
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and TM44 recommendations that need acting on.
In a village like Five Ashes, commercial air conditioning is usually for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Commercial air conditioning in Five Ashes: local notes
The Five Ashes Conservation Area lies close to the centre of Five Ashes, within about a third of a mile. On the National Heritage List, around 13 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Five Ashes; Fir Cottage (grade II) is one. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Wealden council, which typically handles Five Ashes where necessary. About 37 miles out from central London, Five Ashes is part of the South East area we work across.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of the Good Shepherd, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
Five Ashes is about 4 miles south-east of Crowborough, in East Sussex. Whether you are in the middle of Five Ashes or further out, we cover commercial air conditioning, from small jobs to large ones. Count every place we list in East Sussex and you reach 289, with Five Ashes on the list. We also work in East Grinstead, about 13 miles from Five Ashes.
Our nearest recent job to Five Ashes was on Station Road, Heathfield (TN21), about 3 miles south-east: installing three LG cassette units in the main open-plan office space, which occupies the former school hall with original high ceilings and large Victorian windows.
We cover homes and businesses on Westfield Close, Leeds Lane and Spring Lane and the roads around them. If your postcode is in TN20, we can take the job on. We also cover Skippers Hill (1 mile north), Butcher's Cross (1 mile north), Woolbridge (1 mile north-east), Wellbrook (1 mile north-east) and Mayfield (2 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastbourne (15 miles south), Bexhill-on-Sea (15 miles south-east), Lewes (13 miles south-west) and Hailsham (10 miles south).

The closest station to Five Ashes is Crowborough station, roughly 3.3 miles north-west of the centre.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions and you’ll know what they ask for.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.
Common questions in Five Ashes
Will you come out to Five Ashes?
Yes. Five Ashes is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Five Ashes?
We do: Five Ashes falls inside our working area. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, 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.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Five Ashes and across East Sussex. Let us know who the records should go to.
What air conditioning will not do
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Issuing TM44 reports
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Ducted systems

What happens on the day
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Visits to Five Ashes are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
How to prepare
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
