What we are called out for in Nettlebed
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order, so you can show what’s been done.
Customers typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
Churches and halls such as Church of St Bartholomew are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

How we handle commercial air conditioning in Nettlebed
Installation is only the start. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date, at a price fixed with your quote. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. We’re often asked to deal with new tenancies needing cooling and heating and workspaces that overheat on warm days, on multi-split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
Around Nettlebed, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road.
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.

Nettlebed questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Nettlebed?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Nettlebed is a short walk from the Nettlebed Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 local planning authority (for Nettlebed, typically South Oxfordshire council).
Will you come out to Nettlebed?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Places near Nettlebed
Also in Nettlebed
System by system
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating, depending on the system chosen. We explain whether that would help your building.
Hotels and schools
In hotels, each room needs its own control, and work has to fit around guests. Phased installation keeps rooms available.
After we have gone
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.
The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. If a lane or gateway near Nettlebed is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
