What air conditioning won’t do

- Fire risk assessments
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

About our commercial air conditioning in Tortington
We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in Tortington and across West Sussex. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. The work covers server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Tortington, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Think of the paperwork as the 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.

What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Tortington easier.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Safe owner checks
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. 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.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Cooling for Tortington businesses
Tortington is within about 3 miles of the coast. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 24 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 4 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Tortington. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
If you look after a church or hall such as St Mary Magdalene's Church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. Schools such as Arundel CofE Primary School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Tortington is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Tortington gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Count every place we list in West Sussex and you reach 371, with Tortington on the list. Worthing, roughly 8 miles off, has its own page on this site.
Not far from Tortington, a recent job of ours was on Marine Parade, Worthing (BN11), about 8 miles east: installing a Samsung wall-mounted unit in the main living area.
Our working area takes in BN18 in full. Our engineers work on Ford Road and Gaugemaster Way and the roads around them. Close to Tortington, our area also takes in Ford (1 mile south), Lyminster (1 mile east), Arundel (1 mile north-east), Wick (2 miles south-east) and Climping (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Worthing (8 miles east), Bognor Regis (6 miles south-west), Chichester (9 miles west) and Selsey (12 miles south-west).
Around Tortington
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around The Arundel Arms Public House At Ford Station and The Littlehampton Academy. Tortington has its own railway station: Ford station. Nearby you’ll also find Arundel Castle (1.8 miles north-east) and Arundel and District Hospital (1.4 miles north). Not far away are WWT Arundel.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Tortington
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Tortington?
It can, as Tortington is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
Is air conditioning in Tortington permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tortington. 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 Arun council, which is typically the planning authority for Tortington.
When will I hear back?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
