About our commercial air conditioning in Southend
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Common call-outs are for work raised by a TM44 inspection and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer, on VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Southend, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Questions from Southend
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Southend?
We do: Southend falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is air conditioning in Southend permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Southend holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Winchester City council, normally the authority for Southend.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

When to call us in Southend
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine and windows alone can’t always shift it. A system sized for the real heat load deals with it.
Customers typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
For a church or hall like Church of the Holy Trinity, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep plant areas tidy
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
