How we handle commercial air conditioning in Hillingdon
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 the problem is TM44 recommendations that need acting on and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can help.
For a business in Hillingdon, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. 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.

Commercial air conditioning in Hillingdon: local notes
There are about 70 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels and guest houses and about 37 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hillingdon, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Schools such as Abbotsfield School for Boys normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. For a surgery or clinic in the Hillingdon Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. If a freeholder or agent needs to agree the work in Hillingdon, we can send them the details.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
How to get a quote
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.

Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Call about warning signs straight away
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions and you’ll know what they ask for.
Simple control settings help. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort, and we can help set them up.
FAQs for Hillingdon
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Hillingdon?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Will air conditioning in Hillingdon need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hillingdon. 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 Hillingdon, usually Hillingdon council).
How long does a commercial installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it though it keeps disruption down.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
