Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Ibstone
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Ibstone?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Ibstone holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Buckinghamshire council, normally the authority for Ibstone.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Ibstone?
We do: Ibstone falls inside our working area. Just call 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we’ll help with the system side.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How long does a commercial installation take?
As a guide, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them and we handle that for you.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from the major manufacturers. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
Commercial air conditioning in Ibstone
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. Typical jobs include commercial systems near the end of their life and leak check schedules that have slipped, across ducted systems, VRF systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Ibstone, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Owner checks or an engineer?
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Rented and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. For a place like Ibstone, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
