About our commercial air conditioning in Forest Row
The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. If you’re dealing with missing F-gas records for commercial systems and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, we can help.
Around Forest Row, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

FAQs for Forest Row
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Forest Row?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Forest Row Conservation Area is close to the centre of Forest Row. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Forest Row, usually Wealden council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Forest Row?
We do: Forest Row falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs so the business keeps running. The programme is agreed with your quote.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from the major manufacturers. We explain the options after a site survey.

The things we’re asked about most include:
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
