Ridgewell questions
Is air conditioning in Ridgewell permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Ridgewell Conservation Area takes in the middle of Ridgewell. 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 Ridgewell, normally Braintree council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Ridgewell?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ridgewell is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Are you TM44 assessors?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Boiler installation or repair
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Issuing TM44 reports
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Visits to Ridgewell are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
