How we handle commercial air conditioning in Wash Common
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 carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If you’re dealing with ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, we can help.
Around Wash Common, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Wash Common: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Wash Common need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Wash Common holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at West Berkshire council, usually the authority for Wash Common.
Is Wash Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor does the inspection, and we can carry out the recommended work.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across West Berkshire. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the records to whoever needs them.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we clear up before we go. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near Wash Common when you book.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
