Air conditioning in Hextable
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just ring 07833 053749 with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day about a survey or a fixed-price quote. Most split systems we fit in Hextable are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
A cottage and a newer house near Hextable are very different jobs. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and if the home is listed, consent comes before any work.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Common problems we fix in Hextable
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. Once a bedroom has soaked up heat during the day, opening a window may not bring the temperature down far enough, especially on a still night.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
About 2.7 miles north stands Hall Place and Gardens. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Hextable questions
Can you do air conditioning in Hextable?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Hextable is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hextable?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Hextable sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Hextable, normally Sevenoaks council).
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Most single-room systems take a day. Multi-split, ducted and cassette systems take longer, and we tell you how long on the quote.

How it works
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. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Hextable.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
