A typical install in Ivychurch is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the drain run planned so it never drips where it shouldn’t.
Around Ivychurch, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
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. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Ivychurch
Can you do air conditioning in Ivychurch?
Yes. Ivychurch is one of the places we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Will air conditioning in Ivychurch need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Ivychurch holds about 6 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Folkestone and Hythe council, normally the authority for Ivychurch when it matters.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Ivychurch.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- 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
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
When to call us in Ivychurch
Poor sleep is one of the most common reasons homeowners ask about air conditioning. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Look out for any of the following:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- A business premises that overheats in summer
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St George, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

What air conditioning cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Draughts and missing insulation
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
