Commercial air conditioning in Trench Green, done properly
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about changes of use that need a new layout and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Trench Green, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What affects the quote in Trench Green
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Let and managed properties
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
What happens on the day
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. The visit takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a place like Trench Green, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Questions from Trench Green
Is Trench Green in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Trench Green falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning in Trench Green without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The half-mile around the middle of Trench Green holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Trench Green, typically South Oxfordshire council) when it matters.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
Can you install out of hours?
We can. Work can be scheduled around your hours, including phased work floor by floor.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many have a built-in pump to lift the condensate and that is checked when it’s serviced.
VRF and VRV systems
Some VRF systems can heat some rooms while cooling others on systems designed for it. We will say whether it suits your site.
