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. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a place like Founthill, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, 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.

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Founthill
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Common call-outs are for fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and leak check schedules that have slipped, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Founthill, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Founthill
Will you come out to Founthill?
Yes. Founthill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is air conditioning in Founthill permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Newick (Church Road) Conservation Area is close to the centre of Founthill. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Lewes council, which is normally the planning authority for Founthill.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.
What commercial air conditioning cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Different systems, different jobs
Offices
We can install in the evenings, at weekends or in phases, so the office stays open.
VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
- File every leak check and service record in one place
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
