TM44 air-conditioning inspections in Westminster SW1
For public-sector and access-controlled commercial sites in Westminster SW1, the first priority is an accurate description of the cooling equipment, who controls it and what an existing report actually covers. Our team reviews that information before confirming inspection scope.
- Quotation agreed before any visit
- Accredited energy assessors
- Report lodged where a register applies
Three details to resolve before the assessor visits
Prepare site access
Agree any security vetting and escort requirements in advance; do not transmit sensitive access details through open forms.
Review existing evidence
Compare available reports with the equipment actually installed and flag any systems that were not inspected.
When a TM44 inspection may be required
For qualifying systems in England and Wales, an air-conditioning inspection is generally required when the effective rated cooling output exceeds 12 kW, with repeat assessments at intervals not exceeding five years. Separate systems and several individual units require a system-specific technical review. This location guide does not establish compliance or guarantee assessor availability.
Ask for a site-specific quotation
Send the full premises address and postcode, a rough equipment description if available, prior report references and known access restrictions. An office review helps determine the assessment scope and applicable fee; submitting an enquiry does not book a visit.

What this means for your inspection
Access-controlled and heritage sites usually need clearance and escort arrangements booked ahead. A clear equipment list and named system controller make the visit easier to plan.
