TM44 inspection quotations
A credible quote should say which systems will be assessed, who can inspect them and how the reporting is handled. Begin with the essentials; a complete cooling-plant schedule can follow if you have one.
If online submission is unavailable, you can reach the TM44 office directly. This does not reserve an assessor or confirm an inspection appointment. Please include the building address and your deadline.
Customer details are not requested or transmitted until the form is ready. To speak to our team now, call 020 3811 8331 or email office@tm44.uk.
Some visitors need an inspection quotation. Others already hold a document or need to understand whether their cooling system may be in scope. Choose the most relevant route; a search result alone does not determine statutory compliance.
Check the document type, exact building, inspection date, assessor and cooling plant. The guided checker sends you to the government search where applicable; it does not run an official lookup itself.
Review existing report evidenceReview the more-than-12 kW threshold and how separately installed cooling units may be grouped under relevant control in England and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland require nation-specific guidance.
Check the cooling-capacity guidanceReady for an inspection quote? The office will still need to confirm plant scope, assessor availability and the proposed fee before an appointment is accepted.
Return to enquiry formNo paperwork hunt before you can ask for a price. If the installed cooling capacity or previous inspection reference is unknown, say so, we'll identify what needs verifying.
Full address or postcode. For portfolios, tell us where sites are located and roughly how many you manage.
Split units, VRF, rooftop plant or chillers if known. A guess at the cooling kW is less useful than an honest 'not sure'.
A first inspection, an expired report, property transaction, missing records, new installation or a planned renewal.
A facilities or site contact and any known roof, security, out-of-hours or clinical operating restrictions.
You stay in control of the booking. No automated time slot is represented as available until our office and the customer have confirmed it.
Send the full address, known cooling systems and any deadline. An asset schedule is helpful, not required for the initial request.
Our office checks the plant, accreditation requirements, access and what the quotation includes. Nothing is booked at this stage.
Once you accept the quotation, our office proposes available dates and an arrival window. Typical weekday options are 08:00–12:00 or 12:00–16:00, subject to confirmation.
You explicitly accept the offered slot or ask us to propose an alternative. Only a customer-accepted slot can progress to assessor assignment.
An appropriately accredited assessor attends the confirmed scope. Reporting and lodgement are handled under the agreed quotation and applicable jurisdiction.
After a written quote is accepted, our office can propose an arrival window. You decide whether to accept or ask for another. This example uses invented appointment windows and does not check availability, contact an assessor, or create an appointment.

Live availability, cancellations, assessor travel, fees and any property access conditions are agreed separately. An enquiry alone never reserves a date.
The office reviews the property, likely cooling systems and any existing TM44 report, then confirms whether further technical details are needed before a quotation can be agreed. This is an initial scope review, not a guaranteed appointment or an instant compliance determination.
We may ask for system types, approximate cooling output, previous report or plant-room information if those details affect the accredited assessment.
The proposed quote should state visit scope, assessor requirements, reporting and lodgement responsibilities, VAT and access or travel assumptions.
No inspection is booked simply by preparing or sending an enquiry. The appointment, fee and report process must be explicitly confirmed.
Start with the essentials. These are our standard quotation questions; share what you know and tell us where information is unavailable. You do not need to answer everything before contacting the office.
Please confirm the complete address of each building to be inspected, if not already supplied.
How many outdoor condensing units and associated indoor units are installed?
Please provide these details if known. Photographs of equipment labels can help.
If available, please attach a copy when replying to our email.
Are there any VRF/VRV systems, chillers, air handling units (AHUs) or other cooling systems serving the building?
Please provide a copy if the building has been inspected previously.
Are any recent service records or equipment documentation available?
Which buildings, blocks or systems should be included? Please confirm any areas excluded from the request.
Are there any safeguarding requirements, visitor inductions, permits or restrictions on inspection times?
Is there a particular deadline or timeframe for completing the inspection?
An asset schedule, photographs of equipment labels or a previous report can help us establish the scope. Attach relevant documents when replying to the office. Please avoid access codes, photographs identifying people and unrelated personal information.
Start with the building address, reason for the request and any known cooling plant or previous report. Use the office contact route identified on this page for a genuine enquiry. The office needs to establish the inspection scope before confirming a fee or appointment.
Find the office contact optionsGive the location and the information you do know, and mark uncertain details as unknown. Existing reports, equipment labels or an asset schedule may help later. An unsupported capacity guess can create an inaccurate scope; complete technical information is not required just to begin a discussion.
See which details can follow laterA quotation does not reserve an assessor. Agree the actual date, arrival window, plant access and any out-of-hours arrangements separately. Report production and lodgement timing also need confirmation. Do not rely on a generic national next-day or fixed-turnaround promise.
Explain an urgent deadline to the officeAn initial scope request does not itself authorise an inspection or accept its fee. Review the written quotation and terms before proceeding. If a separate preliminary visit or consultancy service would be chargeable, its scope and cost should be agreed before that work begins.
Review the service termsConfirm the premises and systems covered, assessor scope, site attendance, report, lodgement responsibilities and VAT. Check access, parking, travel, additional plant or repeat-visit assumptions. A quotation is not a blanket guarantee that every separate building duty or future system change is covered.
Check fee drivers and scope assumptionsYes. Start with the site list and available reports, identifying jurisdictions, known plant, deadlines and local contacts. Request site-by-site scope and pricing assumptions so unknown equipment, travel and phased visits are visible. An estate enquiry does not confirm nationwide assessor availability.
