Air con installers in East Stourmouth
Air conditioning in and around East Stourmouth, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off and a fixed price agreed before we start.

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in East Stourmouth
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in East Stourmouth it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
A typical install in East Stourmouth is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
For a home in or near East Stourmouth, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think before booking.

East Stourmouth questions
Is East Stourmouth within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will air conditioning in East Stourmouth need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of East Stourmouth is in a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Dover council, which is normally the planning authority for East Stourmouth.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How the job changes from property to property
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. The results go into the commissioning records.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes need space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate, with a condensate pump where the drain cannot fall naturally. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
Air conditioning in East Stourmouth: the local picture
About 37% of homes in the East Stourmouth area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 78% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. 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 usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
About 4.7 miles north-east stands Quex Park. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Homes near All Saints Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to East Stourmouth.
- First comes a site survey, or photos 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.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
