Commercial air conditioning in West Town, done properly
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before we start. If the problem is IT rooms that need resilient cooling and work raised by a TM44 inspection, we can help.
Around West Town, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Different systems, different jobs
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
F-gas records and TM44
Good records make both F-gas audits and TM44 inspections easier and we help you keep it organised.

For landlords and property managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we’ll keep everyone informed.
Why deal with it now?
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Missing checks leaves gaps in the records, and it’s simpler to keep on schedule with a contract. Booking before summer means the work near West Town is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

The process
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near West Town.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases 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.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
What commercial work looks like in West Town
At about 1 mile from the coast, West Town is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. Food Standards Agency records list about 33 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 4 schools and colleges in and around West Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. For a school like Mengham Infant School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

West Town: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in West Town?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 10 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of West Town. 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 West Town, typically Havant council) when it matters.
Is West Town within the area you cover?
Yes. West Town is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from the major manufacturers. We explain the options after a site survey.
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.
A customer’s words
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
