Commercial air conditioning in Ratton Village, done properly
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. The work covers server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about leak check schedules that have slipped and work raised by a TM44 inspection.
Around Ratton Village, commercial jobs are usually a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Many need just one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
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 any chargeable work goes ahead.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy the units are to reach
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building, and we tidy up before we leave. Seeing the property in pictures first helps us plan the trip to Ratton Village.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Questions from Ratton Village
Is air conditioning in Ratton Village permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Ratton Village is a short walk from the Ratton Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Eastbourne council, which is typically the planning authority for Ratton Village.
Do you cover smaller places like Ratton Village?
Yes. Ratton Village is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll tell you what to do first.
