What air conditioning will not do
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation

How we handle air conditioning in Hankham
Any installation we do in Hankham follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before work begins and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, it’s the job we do every week across East Sussex.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Villages like Hankham often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Air conditioning in Hankham: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Hankham is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. Corner Cottage, listed at grade II, is one of roughly 14 protected buildings and structures in the half-mile around Hankham’s centre. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the planning team at Wealden council, which typically handles Hankham has the final say on what’s allowed. The 2021 Census found about 79% 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.
Michelham Priory (roughly 4.4 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. Older streets near St Luke's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Common questions in Hankham
Do you cover smaller places like Hankham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Does sea air affect air conditioning in Hankham?
It can, as Hankham is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
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.
How do I know what size unit to get?
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 we take them all into account on the survey.
Which brands do you work with?
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Size matters more than brand. An undersized unit runs hard and still can’t keep the room cool; an oversized one cycles on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems. For a village like Hankham, booking ahead lets us plan the trip properly.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all play a part.

What happens on the day
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Somewhere like Hankham, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

For landlords and property managers
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 send the records to whoever needs them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.

From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
