How we handle air conditioning in Martin
Any installation we do in Martin follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Martin it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Villages like Martin often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Homes in Martin and air conditioning
Martin is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, outdoor unit position matters more: sheltered from salt-laden wind where possible, on fixings that will not rust. About 82% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
If you work from home near Martin Mill station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Walmer Castle (roughly 3 miles north-east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

How the visit works
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 anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system, and we tidy up before we leave. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Martin.
- 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.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property

Advice
Common questions in Martin
Does being near the sea make a difference to air conditioning in Martin?
It can. Martin is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Martin?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Martin sits inside a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Martin, normally Dover council).
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

Before you call an engineer
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
Ceiling cassettes
For wide rooms, a cassette spreads the air more evenly than one wall unit with just a grille visible in the ceiling.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
