What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
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. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
How we handle air conditioning in Pittswood
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons for it, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. When someone in Pittswood asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
For a home in or near Pittswood, 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.
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, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Your questions about air conditioning in Pittswood
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Pittswood?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Historic England lists about 11 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Pittswood. 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 Pittswood, usually Tonbridge and Malling council).
Do you cover Pittswood for air conditioning?
Yes, Pittswood is within the area we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
The process
You do not need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Work in Pittswood is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
Getting a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us.

- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation

What an install looks like in Pittswood
About 75% of homes in and around Pittswood date from 1945 to 1972, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 86% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age typically have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
About 2.6 miles north stands Old Soar Manor. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Around St Mary's Church, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

System by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Commercial rooms often need more than one unit and controls that suit how the space is used. We size for the people, equipment and glazing in the space, and plan the work so the business keeps running.
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It saves wall space outside and suits homes where several rooms need cooling, with each room controlled separately.
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.”
