Leave it or put it right?
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Falling behind leaves the operator without the evidence the rules expect, and it’s simpler to keep on schedule with a contract. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Rudmore
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Common call-outs are for F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, across ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a business near Rudmore, there’s usually space for plant at the rear, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. 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 clear up before we go. We plan the visit to Rudmore from the survey or your pictures.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Ask for 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. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not let servicing slip
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- File every leak check and service record in one place
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions, so you know what’s needed.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Rudmore
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How easy the units are to reach
Every job is different, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Common questions in Rudmore
Is air conditioning in Rudmore permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Rudmore. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Portsmouth council, usually the authority for Rudmore when it matters.
Is Rudmore within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks and records, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we will help with the system side.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
