Commercial air conditioning in Fobbing, Thurrock
Commercial air conditioning, for Fobbing and the surrounding area. Call for a fixed-price quote; we reply the same working day.
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
How the visit works
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, check the system and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a place like Fobbing, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

How we handle commercial air conditioning in Fobbing
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. If you’re dealing with installs that must fit around trading hours and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, we can sort it out.
Around Fobbing, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep plant areas tidy
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem, and we can help set them up.
What commercial air conditioning cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Fobbing questions
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Fobbing?
It can. Fobbing is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Will you come out to Fobbing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What commercial work looks like in Fobbing
Fobbing is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. Food Standards Agency records list about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fobbing. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.

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.”
