Points to plan for in Brighton
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Brighton 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.
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.
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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
FAQs for Brighton
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Brighton?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,650–£2,795 plus VAT installed in Brighton, and a ceiling cassette £2,450–£5,695 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £5,695–£18,995 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Hove, Portslade and Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes. Alongside Brighton, we also cover Hove, Portslade and Shoreham-by-Sea. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
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.
Can you work outside our opening hours?
Yes. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged, and any extra cost is shown in the quote.
