About our air conditioning in Aldington
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain before you get a fixed-price quote. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Aldington it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
In a village like Aldington, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

FAQs for Aldington
Do you cover smaller places like Aldington?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Will air conditioning in Aldington need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Aldington sits inside a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Ashford council, typically the authority for Aldington.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls and the lease will say. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Aldington.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the handover documents somewhere safe
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Have the system serviced once a year
We recommend an annual service, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We will remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t get forgotten.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.

Why deal with it now?
Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and in most cases heats too, so it works for you in winter as well. Booking before summer means the work in Aldington is done before the hot weather.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What affects the quote in Aldington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- How many units are involved
A single unit or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.
Homes in Aldington and air conditioning
About 45% of homes in the Aldington area have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Westenhanger Castle, about 3.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Martin, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
