- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Building work beyond the installation itself

Commercial air conditioning in Small Dole, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are R410A systems getting dearer to top up and server rooms running too warm.
Around Small Dole, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Small Dole
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The condition of any existing system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- The address and the type of property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Safe owner checks
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
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 or a short video of the display is even better.

FAQs for Small Dole
Will air conditioning in Small Dole need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Small Dole. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to Horsham council, which is typically the planning authority for Small Dole when it matters.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Small Dole?
Yes. Small Dole is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
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.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
After a site survey, with a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
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.”
