Commercial air conditioning in North Stoke
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If you’re dealing with new tenancies needing cooling and heating and older systems that can’t keep up, we can sort it out.
Around North Stoke, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Before you call an engineer
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. 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.
North Stoke: your questions answered
Will you come out to North Stoke?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will air conditioning in North Stoke need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central North Stoke is a short walk from the North Stoke Conservation Area. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for North Stoke, typically South Oxfordshire council).
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
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.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we will help with the system side.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What the work involves, system by system
Server and comms rooms
Server rooms generate heat all day and night and the cooling must keep up all year. We size the system on the heat load.
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one area where the layout allows.
Commercial air conditioning in North Stoke: local notes

For a school like Wallingford School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary the Virgin, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

How it works
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. For a place like North Stoke, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
After we have gone
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
Handover includes a walk-through of the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Getting the settings right helps the system perform.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
