Commercial air conditioning in South Malling
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. If the problem is leak check schedules that have slipped and commercial systems near the end of their life, we can help.
In a place like South Malling, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Many need just one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. We plan the visit to South Malling from the survey or your photos.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.

Business air conditioning in South Malling
There are about 50 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 schools and colleges and about 4 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of South Malling, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. The 2021 Census found about 37% of households in terraced houses. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind.
A bursar or site manager at a school like South Malling CofE Primary and Nursery School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. For a surgery or clinic in the Lewes Victoria Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
South Malling is about 1 mile north-east of Lewes, in East Sussex. From the centre of South Malling to the outskirts, our engineers cover commercial air conditioning, from small jobs to large ones. South Malling is one of 289 towns, villages and districts in East Sussex where we work. Brighton is in our area too, around 7 miles away.
Not far from South Malling, a recent job of ours was on High Street, Lewes (BN7), about 1 mile south-west: installing a Fujitsu wall-mounted split system in the retail area, with the outdoor unit positioned in the rear courtyard to preserve the listed street frontage.
From Lee Road, New Road and Mill Road to the smaller roads in between, the whole area is covered. Main roads around South Malling include the A26 and A2029, which makes travel easy. We also cover Lewes (1 mile south-west), Cliffe (1 mile south-east), Southover (1 mile south), Hamsey (1 mile north) and Offham (1 mile north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Eastbourne (14 miles south-east), Seaford (8 miles south-east), Hailsham (11 miles east) and Crowborough (14 miles north-east).

When it’s something else
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Server and comms room cooling
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
Different systems, different jobs
Shops and restaurants
Where appearance matters, ducted or cassette units keep equipment out of sight.
Hotels and schools
If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years, and we prepare for them and act on the findings.
Leave it or put it right?
A single system failure in a server room can quickly cause problems. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. An early booking makes the visit to South Malling easier to arrange.
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.

Common questions in South Malling
Do you cover South Malling for commercial air conditioning?
We do: South Malling falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will air conditioning in South Malling need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Lewes (Malling Deanery) Conservation Area, close to central South Malling. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Lewes council, normally the authority for South Malling.
Are you TM44 assessors?
TM44 inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors, which we are not. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and every visit is recorded.
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.
From one of our customers
“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.”
