Commercial air conditioning in Millbank, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not 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 older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
Around Millbank, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Millbank.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Millbank: your questions answered
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Millbank?
It can, as Millbank is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will you come out to Millbank?
Yes. Millbank is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Let and managed properties
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
What commercial work looks like in Millbank
The coast is only about 3 miles from Millbank. Rooftop and wall-mounted plant near the sea needs protecting from salt air, through position, coil coatings where available and regular maintenance. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Millbank, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. Central Millbank is inside the Ford, Maypole and Oldtree Conservation Area. In the mile around Millbank’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. On the National Heritage List, around 11 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Millbank; Shelvingford Farmhouse (grade II*) is one. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (typically Canterbury City council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of the Holy Cross, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Look out for these signs:
