Common questions in Gushmere
Do you cover Gushmere for air conditioning?
Yes. Gushmere is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Gushmere need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 3 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Gushmere. 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 the local planning authority (for Gushmere, usually Swale council).
Where does the outdoor unit go?
We agree it with you on the survey. 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 explain the options and any permissions to check.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
It depends on the rooms and the building. 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. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Air conditioning in Gushmere, done properly
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see and we talk you through it on the survey. For air conditioning in Gushmere, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork.
Around Gushmere, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Gushmere.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a price
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one room through separate ducts and grilles, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. An older board may need extra work, and we explain why if so.
What happens if it’s left?
Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, and that is hard to put right later. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. An early booking makes the visit to Gushmere easier to arrange.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Air conditioning in Gushmere: the local picture
Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 39% of homes in Gushmere and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). 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 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.
Plenty of people near Selling station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens about 3.6 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. 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.
