What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. From there, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Thames Ditton when you book.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Thames Ditton
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, and a fixed-price quote follows. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. Common call-outs are for IT rooms that need resilient cooling and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, across multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling.
In a place like Thames Ditton, 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, and we size them from a survey.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Common questions in Thames Ditton
Is Thames Ditton within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will air conditioning in Thames Ditton need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Thames Ditton sits inside the Thames Ditton Conservation Area. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Elmbridge council, which is normally the planning authority for Thames Ditton.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Thames Ditton and across Surrey. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
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’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Cooling for Thames Ditton businesses
There are about 103 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 13 schools and colleges and about 33 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Thames Ditton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
For a surgery or clinic in the Tolworth Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date. If you look after a school such as Thames Ditton Junior School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
- Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.
