Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Send a few photos of the rooms and the outside walls when you phone us on 07833 053749, and we’ll reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote.

In a smaller place like Cheriton, most installs are in houses and cottages, often with gardens, which normally leaves room for an outdoor unit. The wall type and how the electrics reach the unit are often the main things to check.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Air conditioning in Cheriton: local notes
Cheriton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Some manufacturers offer anti-corrosion coated coils for coastal sites, and we will tell you if the model you choose has that option.
About 3.4 miles north stands Acrise Place. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Older streets near Church of All Souls may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Let and managed properties
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Cheriton and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Central heating repairs
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducted systems
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- VRF systems
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Let us know how to reach the outside wall or outdoor unit at your property near Cheriton.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Owner checks or an engineer?
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
FAQs for Cheriton
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Cheriton?
It can. Cheriton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Will air conditioning in Cheriton need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Cheriton. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Folkestone and Hythe council, which is usually the planning authority for Cheriton.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before work begins.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that cannot wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
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.”
