Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Thatcham
Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The timing is set out with your quote. If you are dealing with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can sort it out.
For a business in Thatcham, we fit around opening hours, usually after hours or over a weekend, and we leave the space clean and working.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

What we’re called out for in Thatcham
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Each area has its own hours and heat load and that shapes the system and the controls.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
Before any plant goes outside a building like United Reformed Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Issuing TM44 reports
If you are not sure, just phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work

Thatcham questions
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Thatcham?
Yes. Thatcham is one of the places we cover. To start, ring 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Thatcham?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Thatcham is in the Thatcham Conservation Area. 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 West Berkshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Thatcham.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
As a guide, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme but keeps the business running.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Pictures of the space, the fuse board and the outside wall are a good start for a job in Thatcham.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Quotes don’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
