Air conditioning in Murston
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Whether you call it air con, air conditioning or an air-to-air heat pump, in Murston it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
A single room takes a day in most homes, while multi-split systems for several rooms can take longer, and we leave the room clean and the controls explained.
Outdoor units around Murston often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. In a place like Murston, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

When to call us in Murston
Computers, screens, lighting and people all give off heat. A home office with a couple of screens, or a meeting room with a few people in it, warms up quickly, even when it is not especially hot outside.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
If you commute from Sittingbourne station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.

Air conditioning in Murston: the local picture
The coast is only about 2 miles from Murston. That’s worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 42% of homes in and around Murston date from 1945 to 1972, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and the 2021 Census found about 44% of households in terraced houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is normally the best place for the outdoor unit.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of All Saints, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
Murston is about 1 mile east of Sittingbourne, in Kent. Murston gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Murston is one of them. The nearest of our city pages is Bromley, around 32 miles from Murston.
Whether you are on Oak Road, Glebe Lane and Leigh Road or a nearby road, we can help. Jobs in ME10 and ME9 are looked at, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Other places close to Murston include Milton Regis (1 mile north), Sittingbourne (1 mile west), Tonge Corner (1 mile east), Rodmersham (1 mile south) and Kemsley (1 mile north).

Landmarks near Murston
We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Sittingbourne Community College, Milton Creek Country Park and The New Inn and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Sittingbourne station, roughly 0.7 miles west. A little further out are Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (within half a mile west) and Bayford Court (under half a mile west).
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
If anything is not right after we’ve gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display and we’ll help you sort it out.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early and keeps the warranty paperwork right where servicing is a condition.

How the job changes from property to property
Outdoor unit positions
We think about noise when we choose the spot: keeping it clear of bedrooms and boundaries where we can and fitted so vibration does not carry into the building. Position can also affect planning.
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one room through separate ducts and grilles, which suits new builds, extensions and refurbishments where ceilings are open.
Questions from Murston
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Murston?
It can. Murston is within about 2 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 air conditioning in Murston permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 4 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Murston. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Swale council, which is usually the planning authority for Murston.
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 you can plan around it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Do you work in Murston?
Yes. We work in Murston and the rest of Kent, within the London and South East area we cover. To book, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
We agree it with you on the survey. It needs space around it to breathe and room for an engineer to service it, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We explain the options and any permissions to check.
From one of our customers
“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.”
