How we handle commercial air conditioning in Petts Wood
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and offices that get too hot in summer.
For a business in Petts Wood, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.

FAQs for Petts Wood
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Petts Wood?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Petts Wood?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Station Square, Petts Wood Conservation Area, close to central Petts Wood. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Bromley council, normally the authority for Petts Wood.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Why it’s worth doing now in Petts Wood
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Missing checks leaves gaps in the records, and it’s simpler to keep on schedule with a contract. Approvals for flats in Petts Wood can take longer than the install itself.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
