Where we work around Christchurch
Christchurch has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Bournemouth is about 7 km away.
That includes premises in BH23, GL16 and PE14 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole.
We plan installations in Christchurch so the noisy work — core drilling, ceiling access, lifting plant — happens when it disturbs your business least.
Each visit in Christchurch ends with a written report: what was checked, readings taken and anything that needs attention, priced separately for you to approve.

What to think about in Christchurch
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Christchurch 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.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
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).
Common questions in Christchurch
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Christchurch?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,500–£2,550 plus VAT installed in Christchurch, and a ceiling cassette £2,250–£5,150 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £5,150–£17,150 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole?
Yes. Alongside Christchurch, we also cover Bournemouth, New Milton and Poole. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. We service most commercial makes and models; tell us the make and model if you know them.
