Air conditioning in Platt, done properly
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Most enquiries from Platt 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.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Platt. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

The process
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we tidy up before we leave. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Platt easier.
- 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.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Why deal with it now?
The best time to plan air conditioning is before the hot weather, not during it. A rushed choice is often the wrong size or in the wrong place, which is costly to undo. A survey now gives time to choose properly. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

How we price air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- The size of the job
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Call for a fixed-price quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
Need a price for air conditioning? Please ring 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details about the property. We will explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
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. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
FAQs for Platt
Will air conditioning in Platt need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Platt is a short walk from the Platt Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, usually the authority for Platt.
Is Platt within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Platt and across Kent. Let us know who the records should go to.
