After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make regular servicing a condition of their warranty. We can remind you when it’s due if you’d like.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Holborough
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. If you want air conditioning in Holborough, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork, wherever you are in Kent.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: the survey covers room size, glazing, insulation and how the room is used, so the unit is not too big or too small.
Outdoor units around Holborough often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we’ve done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Holborough.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- 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 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload

Air conditioning around Holborough
The last census (2021) found about 36% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is usually the best place for the outdoor unit.
If you work from home near Snodland station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. With historic houses such as Starkey Castle about 1.9 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Your questions about air conditioning in Holborough
Is air conditioning in Holborough permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Holborough is a short walk from the Holborough Mill, Snodland Conservation Area. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Holborough, usually Tonbridge and Malling council).
Is Holborough in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Holborough is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
How soon will you get back to me?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Different systems, different jobs
Wall-mounted split systems
For one room, a wall-mounted split is often the simplest answer. The indoor unit sits high on a wall, the outdoor unit goes outside, and the two are joined by insulated pipework, a cable and a condensate drain, with the route agreed on the survey.
Outdoor unit positions
On flats and terraced houses, space outside is often the deciding factor. We look at walls, roofs, balconies and yards on the survey and we flag any consent you may need.

When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If you are not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749 and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
