How we handle commercial air conditioning in South Bersted
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup, so a single fault does not leave the room without cooling. We are often asked to deal with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue, on wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems.
For a business near South Bersted, there’s typically space for plant at the rear, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in South Bersted?
Ageing systems are a common reason for a call. Parts become harder to find and the system cannot keep up, and replacing it becomes the better option.
Look out for these signs:
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
If your office near Bognor Regis station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Cooling for South Bersted businesses

Food Standards Agency records list about 93 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 27 schools and colleges in and around South Bersted, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. About 49% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures.

Advice
Common questions in South Bersted
Can I fit air conditioning in South Bersted without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 31 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of South Bersted. 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 Arun council, which is usually the planning authority for South Bersted when it matters.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in South Bersted?
It can. South Bersted is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
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 new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.

What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or email us.
