How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Visits to a place like Bockhanger are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them

Air con installers in Bockhanger
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. Most split systems we fit in Bockhanger are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Outdoor units around Bockhanger often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Rented and managed buildings
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Questions from Bockhanger
Can you do air conditioning in Bockhanger?
We do: Bockhanger falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Bockhanger need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Bockhanger. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Ashford council, which is normally the planning authority for Bockhanger.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Bockhanger and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. That covers supply, installation, commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork, and we fix it after a survey or from your pictures.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision and position can affect planning.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Air conditioning around Bockhanger
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 40% of homes in Bockhanger and the neighbourhoods around it to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 64% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes. About 2.1 miles west stands Godinton House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
