Commercial air con in Round Street
Design, installation, servicing and repair of air conditioning for offices, shops, hospitality and public buildings, in Round Street and nearby. Ask us for a fixed-price quote; we reply the same working day.
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. For a village like Round Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
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 we handle commercial air conditioning in Round Street
There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. The work covers multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
For a hall or similar building near Round Street, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Cooling for Round Street businesses
There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 5 schools and colleges and about 3 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Round Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 4 within half a mile of the centre, such as Blackhorse Cottage (grade II). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Gravesham council, which normally handles Round Street where necessary.
If you look after a school such as Cobham Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

Common questions in Round Street
Is Round Street in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Round Street is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do you cover smaller places like Round Street?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost and the quote is fixed before we begin.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
When to call us in Round Street
A TM44 report, an F-gas audit or an insurer’s question can prompt the call. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order and you have the evidence to hand.
Customers usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
For premises near Sole Street station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
- Keep a log for each system
If anything doesn’t feel right after the install, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will look into it. Our 24/7 emergency line covers breakdowns.
Plan replacements before old systems fail, particularly where they use R410A.
Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
