How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. For a place like Shorthampton, 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.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Commercial air conditioning in Shorthampton
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure doesn’t take everything down. If you are dealing with older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and work raised by a TM44 inspection, we can help.
Around Shorthampton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
- Call about warning signs right away
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.

Questions from Shorthampton
Is air conditioning in Shorthampton permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Shorthampton. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with West Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Shorthampton.
Do you cover smaller places like Shorthampton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
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. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we will help with the system side.
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Shorthampton?
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use, which affects the type of system and controls we’d suggest.
The things we’re asked about most include:
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
For a church or hall like Church of All Saints, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.
Before you book anyone
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies

How we price commercial air conditioning
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The brand, model and parts involved
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
