Air conditioning in Marlpit Hill
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run before you get a fixed-price quote. People searching for “air con near me” in Marlpit Hill want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
In a village like Marlpit Hill, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

What we’re called out for in Marlpit Hill
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window cannot close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- Expensive direct electric heating
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
Chartwell (roughly 2.5 miles north) 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
- What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Marlpit Hill easier.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Before we arrive
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

How the job changes from property to property
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.
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so the quote covers any electrical work needed. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we will tell you if yours does.
Marlpit Hill questions
Can you do air conditioning in Marlpit Hill?
Yes. Marlpit Hill is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Marlpit Hill?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Marlpit Hill sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Sevenoaks council, typically the authority for Marlpit Hill.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls and the lease will say. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

New systems now use lower-impact refrigerants. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg can’t use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, which is why R32, with a GWP of 675, is now common. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Planning ahead for a job in Marlpit Hill means we can bring everything needed.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
