There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about missing F-gas records for commercial systems and buildings that can’t close for the work.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
Handover includes a walk-through of the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Simple control settings help. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.

Old Heath: your questions answered
Is Old Heath within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Old Heath need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Old Heath. 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 necessary, we check with Colchester council, which is typically the planning authority for Old Heath.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How the visit works
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Old Heath.
- 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

F-gas records and TM44
For systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, the operator is responsible for leak checks and records. We do the checks and give you the paperwork.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes sit in the ceiling and blow air in several directions. They’re common in offices, retail and dining areas with suspended ceilings.
Let and managed properties
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Old Heath and across Essex. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
