Commercial air conditioning in Shiplake Cross, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and leak check schedules that have slipped.
For a business near Shiplake Cross, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Business air conditioning in Shiplake Cross

What else we do in Shiplake Cross
After we have gone
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
How the visit works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a place like Shiplake Cross, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote

Why it’s worth doing now in Shiplake Cross
A single system failure in a server room can quickly cause problems. Reviewing the cooling and adding resilience is best done in advance. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Shiplake Cross
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Shiplake Cross?
Yes, Shiplake Cross is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can I fit air conditioning in Shiplake Cross without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 9 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Shiplake Cross. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Shiplake Cross, normally South Oxfordshire council).
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them and we handle that for you.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
