Commercial air conditioning in Strettington
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
Around Strettington, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

Strettington: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Strettington?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 16 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Strettington. 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 the local planning authority (for Strettington, normally Chichester council) when it matters.
Will you come out to Strettington?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That is a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it though it keeps disruption down.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible to keep disruption down. The programme is agreed with your quote.
How the job changes from property to property
VRF and VRV systems
VRF (variable refrigerant flow), also called VRV, connects many indoor units to shared outdoor units. Rooms can have their own temperature settings, which suits offices, hotels and multi-room buildings.
F-gas records and TM44
Good records make both F-gas audits and TM44 inspections easier, and we keep yours in order.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. For a village like Strettington, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Get a fixed-price quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
