About our commercial air conditioning in Tilgate
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and commercial systems near the end of their life.
Businesses near Tilgate often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
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.

When to call us in Tilgate
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We act on the recommendations and bring the records up to date and you have the evidence to hand.
These are the situations we see most often:
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Server rooms running too warm
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
A bursar or site manager at a school like The Oaks Primary School & Nursery will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.
What your quote should include
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Why the equipment they’re quoting suits the job
The process
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. In a place like Tilgate, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Missing checks leaves gaps in the records and a maintenance contract keeps them on track. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we’ll explain what it covers.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Getting landlord or building owner approval
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Tilgate questions
Will you come out to Tilgate?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can I get a fixed-price quote for commercial air conditioning in Tilgate?
Start with a short message: the address, what you need and a picture or two. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
Will I need planning permission?
Not always. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Permission is more likely to come up for cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing positions in conservation areas and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
What commercial work looks like in Tilgate
Food Standards Agency records list about 88 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 7 hotels and guest houses and about 21 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tilgate. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 75% of homes in the Tilgate area date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. There are 6 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Tilgate. Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Holy Trinity, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
