Commercial air conditioning in Selsfield Common, done properly
Businesses cannot always stop for an installation. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The timing is set out with your quote. Common call-outs are for older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, across ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes.
Around Selsfield Common, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Common questions in Selsfield Common
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Selsfield Common?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Selsfield Common holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Mid Sussex council, which is normally the planning authority for Selsfield Common.
Do you cover Selsfield Common for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Selsfield Common falls inside our working area. Just phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

What else we do in Selsfield Common
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
How it works
Every visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. We plan the trip to Selsfield Common around you.
- 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.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
