Minnow End: your questions answered
Is Minnow End in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Minnow End is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Do you cover smaller places like Minnow End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks and records, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we will help with the system side.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Acting as the energy assessor
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- VRF systems
- Server and comms room cooling
The process
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. For a village like Minnow End, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Advice
What the work involves, system by system
F-gas records and TM44
An accredited energy assessor carries out the TM44 inspection. We do not inspect, but we get systems ready and do the follow-up work.
Ducted systems
The unit needs room in the void and an access hatch for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
Before you call an engineer
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
