Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Hadlow
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Homes around Hadlow typically have room outside for an outdoor unit. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
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, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in Hadlow
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on

Different systems, different jobs
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. We agree the route with you before we drill, and keep it as short and neat as the building allows.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions and they’re a common choice for offices, shops and larger rooms.
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we tidy up before we leave. For a place like Hadlow, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

Your questions about air conditioning in Hadlow
Will air conditioning in Hadlow need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Hadlow Conservation Area, close to central Hadlow. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, normally the authority for Hadlow.
Can you do air conditioning in Hadlow?
Yes. Hadlow is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
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 will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
How do I know what size unit to get?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count and the survey covers each of them.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You’ll usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route and the lease will say. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

Air conditioning around Hadlow
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor about 2.6 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Around St Mary's Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
