Your questions about air conditioning in Ivy Hatch
Is air conditioning in Ivy Hatch permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Ivy Hatch is a short walk from the Ivy Hatch Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t 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 planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, normally the authority for Ivy Hatch.
Is Ivy Hatch within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check 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.
Air con installers in Ivy Hatch
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial 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. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Kent.
In a village like Ivy Hatch, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building.
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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

More services for Ivy Hatch
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed-price quote.
What the work involves, system by system
Outdoor unit positions
Outdoor units are fitted on wall brackets, at ground level or on a flat roof, whatever suits the building and the route. It needs space around it to breathe and for an engineer to work on it.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space for the unit and the ductwork, and access for servicing. We check that on the survey before recommending one.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Ivy Hatch.
- 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 necessary.
- 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
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
