Cooling for Foxholes businesses
There are about 61 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 17 schools and colleges and about 10 care, childcare and hospital premises in and around Foxholes, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. In the mile around Foxholes’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. Gamels Hall, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 6 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Foxholes’s centre. If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to East Hertfordshire council, usually the planning authority here where it’s needed.
For a church or hall like Church of the Holy Trinity, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

Commercial air conditioning in Foxholes, done properly
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 are dealing with systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, we can sort it out.
Around Foxholes, commercial jobs are usually a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Many need just one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we are called out for in Foxholes
Ageing systems are a common reason for a call. Parts become harder to find and the system can’t keep up, and replacing it becomes the better option.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Older systems that can’t keep up
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Staff complaining about the temperature
For a school like Wheatcroft Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

FAQs for Foxholes
Is Foxholes within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do you cover Foxholes for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Foxholes is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few pictures.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

What else we do in Foxholes
The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we tidy up before we leave. Because we plan from photos or a survey, a job in Foxholes can typically be finished in one visit.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where we can park and unload
