About our commercial air conditioning in Highleigh
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. If you’re dealing with buildings that can’t close for the work and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, we can sort it out.
In a village like Highleigh, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space above the ceiling and access for servicing for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
Ceiling cassettes
Only the face of the cassette is visible, which keeps the look of the ceiling tidy.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Highleigh.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Highleigh
Will air conditioning in Highleigh need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Highleigh. 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 necessary, we check with Chichester council, which is typically the planning authority for Highleigh.
Do you cover smaller places like Highleigh?
Yes. Highleigh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. 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.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
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. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Common problems we fix in Highleigh
Many businesses call us when an older system is struggling or failing. Parts become harder to find and the system can’t keep up, and replacing it becomes the better option.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
Churches and halls such as St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

What else we do in Highleigh
Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
