Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs and we can do the work they recommend. An early booking makes the visit to Shalmsford Street easier to arrange.
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

About our commercial air conditioning in Shalmsford Street
Installation is only the start. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. If the problem is installs that must fit around trading hours and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, we can help.
Businesses near Shalmsford Street often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Shalmsford Street
When a space is refitted or its use changes, the old layout may no longer work. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load and the system needs to match the new layout.
What we’re most often called about:
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
A bursar or site manager at a school like Chartham Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Proof of F-Gas company certification
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Shalmsford Street.

- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Shalmsford Street
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- A single visit or a regular plan
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Before you get in touch
What to send for a quote:
- Your installation or service records
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Shalmsford Street: your questions answered
Is Shalmsford Street 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.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Shalmsford Street?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Chartham Conservation Area, close to central Shalmsford Street. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 the planning department at Canterbury City council, typically the authority for Shalmsford Street.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
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.
Will I get records for the system?
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.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
