Air conditioning installation in Newnham, Kent

What air conditioning won’t do
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation

How we handle air conditioning in Newnham
Any installation we do in Newnham follows the same process as everywhere else we work: a site survey, or photos for simple jobs, then a fixed-price quote, the installation, commissioning and F-Gas records. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Most enquiries from Newnham start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
A typical install in Newnham 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 condensate drained away safely.
For a home in or near Newnham, an air-to-air system can cool in summer and heat in the cooler months, which suits garden rooms, lofts and extensions that the main heating struggles with.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Newnham: your questions answered
Do you cover Newnham for air conditioning?
We do: Newnham falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
Will you come out to Newnham?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. In England, an air source heat pump on a house can be permitted development if it meets set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, so check with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Different systems, different jobs
Multi-split systems
A multi-split runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit. It’s a neat answer when space outside is limited and several rooms need it and each indoor unit has its own controls.
Pipework and condensate drains
Cooling produces water as the air is dried, which the condensate drain takes away. Where it can’t fall naturally to a drain, a condensate pump lifts it and we allow for that in the quote.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Newnham easier.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
What an install looks like in Newnham
VOA council tax data put about 35% of homes in Newnham and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and about 69% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it. The centre of Newnham lies within the Doddington and Newnham Conservation Area. Historic England lists about 23 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Newnham, including Sharsted Court (grade I). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to the local planning authority (normally Swale council) where it’s needed.
About 2.2 miles south-east stands Belmont House and Gardens. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Around Church of St Peter and St Paul, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever you are in the ME9 postcode area, our engineers can take on air conditioning. Count every place we list in Kent and you reach 922, with Newnham on the list. You can also see our page for Bromley, roughly 35 miles from Newnham.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean, 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. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
