FAQs for Hickmans Green
Can you do air conditioning in Hickmans Green?
We do: Hickmans Green falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will you come out to Hickmans Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How we handle air conditioning in Hickmans Green
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be, and we explain the options on the survey. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Hickmans Green it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: we balance airflow, noise, the pipe run and access for future servicing.
Around Hickmans Green, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating doesn’t reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Why deal with it now?
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. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why people in Hickmans Green choose us
- NICEIC approved for electrical work
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- F-Gas company certification
- We work on all the leading brands
How we price air conditioning
The survey or diagnosis tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The condition of any existing system
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 we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your installation or service records
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
What happens on the day
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. We plan the trip to Hickmans Green around you.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Homes in Hickmans Green and air conditioning
About 39% of homes in the Hickmans Green area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 74% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. 3 conservation areas lie within a mile of central Hickmans Green. On the National Heritage List, around 13 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Hickmans Green; Trent Cottage (grade II) is one. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling is not covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (usually Swale council) where necessary.
Living close to St Barnabas? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is. Belmont House and Gardens (roughly 4.9 miles west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
