System by system
Ceiling cassettes
Only the face of the cassette is visible, which keeps the look of the ceiling tidy.
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. The system is sized for what the space really needs and choose units that suit the ceiling and layout.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Houghton
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Houghton and the rest of Hampshire. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. Typical jobs include offices that get too hot in summer and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a business near Houghton, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What affects the quote in Houghton
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749.

Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of All Saints, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. If you look after a school such as Test Valley School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

Questions from Houghton
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Houghton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Houghton sits inside the Houghton and Bossington Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Test Valley council, typically the authority for Houghton when it matters.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Houghton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Houghton is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
- Call about warning signs right away
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
If anything does not feel right after the install, call 07833 053749 and we’ll come back to it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.
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 we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Somewhere like Houghton, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
