What owners can safely do
Do not move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.

Common problems we fix in Maltman's Hill
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
Godinton House (roughly 5 miles east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. If a lane or gateway near Maltman's Hill is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- 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.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

FAQs for Maltman's Hill
Do you cover Maltman's Hill for air conditioning?
Yes. Maltman's Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can I fit air conditioning in Maltman's Hill without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Maltman's Hill sits inside a conservation area. 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 Ashford council, usually the authority for Maltman's Hill when it matters.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
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.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
