Commercial air conditioning in Westdean
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, and a fixed-price quote follows. So you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. Typical jobs include planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, across wall-mounted split systems, server and comms room cooling and VRF systems.
For a business near Westdean, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes sit in the ceiling and blow air in several directions. They’re common in offices, retail and dining areas where there’s a ceiling void.
F-gas records and TM44
Keeping the paperwork up to date helps with inspections, and we keep yours in order.
Before you call an engineer
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Westdean questions
Is air conditioning in Westdean permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Westdean is in the Westdean Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Wealden council, which is normally the planning authority for Westdean.
Is Westdean within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we’ll help with the system side.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we’ve done.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Don’t let servicing slip
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.

What else we do in Westdean
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Westdean.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
