What we repair
Commercial air conditioning covers a lot of ground — from a single split unit cooling a pub cellar to multi-zone VRF systems serving a full hotel. We work on all of it.
Single-split systems
Wall-mounted and floor-standing splits in offices, back-of-house, pub cellars and small kitchens. Refrigerant leaks, compressor faults, fan motor failures, controller issues — diagnosed and repaired with full F-Gas paperwork.
Multi-split & ceiling cassettes
Multi-head systems serving restaurant dining rooms, conference suites and open-plan kitchens. Ceiling cassettes, recessed and ducted units across Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, Toshiba and Panasonic. F-Gas regulated work for HFC systems.
VRF & VRV systems
Multi-zone VRF and VRV systems in hotels and larger restaurants. Outdoor unit faults, branch controller issues, refrigerant balancing, individual zone diagnostics. Full F-Gas paperwork issued for every refrigerant intervention.
Cellar cooling-adjacent AC
Where bar cellars use AC rather than dedicated cellar cooling, we cover both. Compressor diagnostics, refrigerant top-ups, defrost faults, controller and thermostat work. Cellar cooling kit on its own page — call us if unsure which applies.
Servicing & F-Gas compliance
Annual servicing, leak testing, refrigerant logging and F-Gas paperwork for HFC systems above the regulatory threshold. EHO and audit-ready records issued for every visit, kept on file for service agreement holders.
External & rooftop plant
Roof-mounted and outdoor condensing units serving commercial AC systems. Working at height with appropriate access equipment. Storm-damage repairs, ingress protection, weatherproofing checks as part of every service visit.
How we work
A failed AC system in a packed restaurant is a customer-walk-out clock running. Here's what happens from the moment you call.
Same working-day attendance
Phone the office before 10am and an engineer is usually with you the same day. Service agreement holders are dispatched first with a defined SLA. Weekend emergency cover available.
F-Gas compliant diagnosis
Every engineer is F-Gas certified and Refcom registered. Leak detection, refrigerant recovery and recharge handled to the regulation. Full F-Gas paperwork issued for your records.
Fixed on the first visit where we can
Engineers carry common compressor capacitors, fan motors and contactors on the van. Major parts ordered the same day for next-day return where stock allows. We tell you up front what's possible.

Stop reacting, start preventing
Commercial AC on a service agreement
AC systems that fail mid-summer service are usually the ones nobody touched all winter. A planned service contract catches refrigerant loss, blocked filters, drain faults and controller drift before customers start fanning themselves with the menu.
Service agreement holders get priority dispatch with a defined SLA. Fixed annual cost, predictable budget line, F-Gas paperwork kept up to date.
What an agreement includes
- Scheduled preventative maintenance visits
- F-Gas compliance checks and paperwork
- Priority dispatch with defined SLA
- Refrigerant leak testing and logging
- Filter cleaning and replacement
- Condenser and evaporator coil cleaning
- Compliance records ready for EHO and auditors
