Commercial air conditioning, for Sprat's Down and the surrounding area. Call for a fixed-price quote; we reply the same working day.
- Comms rooms without enough cooling

After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
- File every leak check and service record in one place
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.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Sprat's Down
Installation is only the start. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are commercial systems near the end of their life and staff complaining about the temperature.
Around Sprat's Down, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road.

What else we do in Sprat's Down
Questions from Sprat's Down
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Sprat's Down?
It can, as Sprat's Down is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. 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.
Can I fit air conditioning in Sprat's Down without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Sprat's Down. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact New Forest council, which is usually the planning authority for Sprat's Down.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
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 we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator needs to arrange leak checks and keep records where the system requires them, and we provide both.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
How we price commercial air conditioning
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Helping us quote
Good pictures often save a visit. Try to include:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
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’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, phone 07833 053749 or email us.
System by system
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating on systems designed for it. We explain whether that would help your building.
Hotels and schools
In hotels, each room needs its own control and installation has to be planned around occupancy. We phase the work floor by floor where needed.
Commercial air conditioning in Sprat's Down: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Sprat's Down is close enough for sea air to matter. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Sprat's Down. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
Churches and halls such as St George are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. For a school like Fawley Infant School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.
