What happens if it’s left?
TM44 inspections are required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs, and we can carry out the work. Booking in spring means a home or office in Old Ford is ready before the first hot week.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re unsure, phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed price.

Commercial air conditioning in Old Ford, done properly
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. We’re often asked to deal with new tenancies needing cooling and heating and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, across ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
Commercial systems in Old Ford are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. That means planning noise, outdoor unit positions and access with the landlord or managing agent, and installs are often done out of hours.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send 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.

FAQs for Old Ford
Is air conditioning in Old Ford permitted development?
It depends on the property. There’s a conservation area, the Fish Island Conservation Area, close to central Old Ford. 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 Newham council, which is usually the planning authority for Old Ford.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Old Ford?
Yes, Old Ford is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Old Ford
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
After we’ve gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.
