How a job in Sutton works
Survey
We measure the space, check the ceiling void, wall construction, glazing and occupancy, and agree where indoor and outdoor units can go.
Design and quote
You get a written specification with unit sizes, positions, pipe routes and a fixed price — plus any planning, landlord or noise points to resolve first.
First fix
Pipework, cabling and condensate runs go in, usually above ceilings or in neat trunking, before the units are hung. We keep work areas in Sutton screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install and test
Indoor and outdoor units are fitted, the system is pressure tested with nitrogen, evacuated and charged with refrigerant.
Commission and hand over
We set up controls, check air flows and temperatures, show your team how to use it and hand over the F-gas and commissioning paperwork.
Things to check in Sutton
Power
Larger systems need a dedicated supply from the distribution board. We check capacity at survey so there are no surprises on install day.
Leased premises
If your Sutton premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Planning and noise
Outdoor units on commercial buildings often need planning permission — particularly on a front elevation, in a conservation area or on a listed building — and councils may ask for a noise assessment.
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.
Premises we work in around Sutton
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
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).
