Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Littlehampton
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need 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. We’re often asked to deal with F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and workspaces that overheat on warm days, on multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems.
Around Littlehampton, commercial work is mostly shops, offices, cafés, restaurants and clinics. Ceiling cassettes suit open-plan spaces, and wall-mounted or ducted units suit smaller rooms.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Different systems, different jobs
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
Hotels and schools
In schools, the holidays are the natural time for installation and we plan the programme early.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Safe owner checks
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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 makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Littlehampton questions
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Littlehampton?
It can, as Littlehampton is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Littlehampton?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 42 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Littlehampton. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Arun council, normally the authority for Littlehampton.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule and every visit is recorded.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Cooling for Littlehampton businesses
The coast is only about 1 mile from Littlehampton. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. Food Standards Agency data counts about 67 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 6 hotels and guest houses and about 18 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Littlehampton. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
Schools such as The Littlehampton Academy normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. Around Littlehampton station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Pictures of the space, the fuse board and the outside wall are a good start for a job in Littlehampton.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- 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
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
