The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. We plan the trip to Hadlow Down around you.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in

Advice
Air conditioning around Hadlow Down
About 37% of homes in and around Hadlow Down were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 86% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. 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.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call. Homes near St Mark's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
Outdoor units are fitted on wall brackets, at ground level or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs space around it to breathe and for an engineer to work on it.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Larger buildings may suit VRF, which runs many indoor units from shared outdoor units. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hadlow Down
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

FAQs for Hadlow Down
Do you cover smaller places like Hadlow Down?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hadlow Down?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Hadlow Down holds about 10 listed buildings and structures. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Wealden council, which is normally the planning authority for Hadlow Down.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
How do you size the system?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Why deal with it now?
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 affect whether planning permission is needed. It’s agreed on the survey, not on the day. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Hadlow Down.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before we start.
