Commercial air conditioning in Westhampnett
Installation is only the start. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. If you’re dealing with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, we can sort it out.
Around Westhampnett, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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.

FAQs for Westhampnett
Do you cover Westhampnett for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Westhampnett is part of that. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Can I fit air conditioning in Westhampnett without planning permission?
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 Westhampnett. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Chichester council, normally the authority for Westhampnett.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Looking after your system
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Keep plant areas tidy
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Simple control settings help. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.

What owners can safely do
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.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749.

What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there.

- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
