Questions from Ditton
Do you cover Ditton for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ditton is part of that. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few pictures.
Will you come out to Ditton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools isn’t covered and needs checking with the council. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flats have extra limits. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Which type of system should I choose?
There’s no single best type. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
What happens on the day
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we clear up before we go. Visits to a place like Ditton are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the job needs.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Why deal with it now?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can make a difference to planning. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. Planning ahead for a job near Ditton means we can arrive with everything needed.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, 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.
Why us?
- Members of Checkatrade
- Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba and more
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- MCS certified for heat pumps
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Tell us if the unit starts to leak, rattle or show a code
You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. Keep them with the manual, because the manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.
Set it and leave it. Choose the right mode and a comfortable temperature rather than the lowest setting and keep doors and windows shut while it runs.
Air conditioning in Ditton: local notes
Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Ditton, you reach the Ditton Conservation Area. 4 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Ditton. About 11 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Ditton, Bradbourne House (grade I) among them. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the planning team at Tonbridge and Malling council, which normally handles Ditton has the final say on what’s allowed. About 40% of homes in Ditton and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 67% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Houses normally have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Living close to St Peter's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Starkey Castle (roughly 4.8 miles north) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, which suits new builds, extensions and refurbishments where ceilings are open.
Pipework and condensate drains
We pressure test and evacuate the pipework before the system is charged, which keeps moisture and air out of the circuit. It’s recorded in the commissioning details.
A customer’s words
“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.”
