Commercial air conditioning in Tooting Bec
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If the problem is planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and buildings that can’t close for the work, we can sort it out.
London buildings in Tooting Bec can have little space for outdoor plant, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Advice
Safe owner checks
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.

Questions from Tooting Bec
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Tooting Bec?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is Tooting Bec in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Tooting Bec is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
As a guide, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme but keeps the business running.
Cooling for Tooting Bec businesses
There are about 582 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 8 hotels and guest houses and about 34 schools and colleges in and around Tooting Bec, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 64% of homes in the Tooting Bec area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 58% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
For a church or hall like St Augustine, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. If your office near Tooting station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.
