FAQs for Great Stonar
Do you cover smaller places like Great Stonar?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in Great Stonar?
It can, as Great Stonar is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. We site outdoor units out of the worst of the sea wind where possible and can suggest models with corrosion protection where the manufacturer offers it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Is planning permission needed for the outdoor unit?
It depends on the system and the property. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools is not covered and needs checking with the council. Listed buildings, conservation areas and flats have extra limits. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, 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.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls and the lease will say. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. On site, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. For a village like Great Stonar, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from pictures and details for simple jobs.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
Air conditioning around Great Stonar
At about 2 miles from the coast, Great Stonar is close enough for sea air to matter. That is worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. The last census (2021) found about 66% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split. Great Stonar’s centre falls inside a designated conservation area. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with Dover council, usually the planning authority here where needed.
Starting with one room is common, and the outdoor unit can be chosen with more rooms in mind. Living close to St Mary's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Let and managed properties
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Great Stonar
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. 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. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Great Stonar.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. The price is fixed before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.
