- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- A room that’s unbearable on warm days
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
What happens on the day
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Basted.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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 where we can park and unload
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Air conditioning in Basted
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. At sign-off, the system is tested in each mode, the controls are explained and the F-Gas records are left with you. Air conditioning installation in Basted starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
In a village like Basted, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

What we are called out for in Basted
In shops, offices and restaurants, the heat comes from customers, staff, equipment and lighting as well as the sun. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is typically what prompts the call, along with keeping equipment rooms at a steady temperature.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An old system that needs replacing
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
If your home is in one of the older streets near The Church of the Good Shepherd, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Book an annual service
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
If anything is not right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we’ll help you sort it out.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.

Safe owner checks
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Air conditioning around Basted
The 2021 Census found about 73% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 7 within half a mile of the centre, such as Clakkers Hall (grade II*). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the planning team at Tonbridge and Malling council, which typically handles Basted where it’s needed.
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor about 1.4 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Basted: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Basted?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can you do air conditioning in Basted?
We do: Basted falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
