About our commercial air conditioning in Shottenden
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. The work covers ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about work raised by a TM44 inspection and comms rooms without enough cooling.
For a hall or similar building near Shottenden, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

What else we do in Shottenden
Shottenden questions
Is Shottenden within the area you cover?
Yes. Shottenden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will air conditioning in Shottenden need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Shottenden sits inside a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Shottenden, typically Ashford council).
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept and we handle that for you.
Are you TM44 assessors?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Shottenden.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system is mostly common sense. A few tips:
- Keep plant areas tidy
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and we can cover it under a contract.
Simple control settings help. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem, and we can help set them up.
A customer’s words
“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.”
