Just phone 07833 053749 or send an email with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote.

In a village like Bough Beech, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
Multi-split systems
Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.
Air conditioning in Bough Beech: local notes
About 46% of homes across Bough Beech and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 73% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed. Hever Castle, about 1.1 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Bough Beech.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know where we can park and unload

What air conditioning won’t do
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
If you’re not sure, just call 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- VRF systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
What affects the quote in Bough Beech
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The brand, model and parts involved
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The remote or wall controller showing any error
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few photos, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
FAQs for Bough Beech
Is Bough Beech in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Bough Beech is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Bough Beech?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Bough Beech is in a conservation area. 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 Sevenoaks council, which is usually the planning authority for Bough Beech.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
In many cases, but permissions come first. You’ll usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. 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 needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
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.”
