What to think about in Canterbury
Frequency
Most commercial systems should be serviced at least once a year; busy kitchens, gyms, salons and server rooms usually need two or more visits.
Working hours
Most Canterbury businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Access
High-level units or roof plant may need towers or roof access arrangements, which we plan in advance.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Canterbury often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Types of premises we cover in Canterbury
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

No, but they are often done together. A leak check is a legal requirement for systems above certain refrigerant thresholds; a service is broader maintenance.

At least once a year, and every three to six months for systems in kitchens, gyms, salons, dusty environments or server rooms that run 24/7.
