Different systems, different jobs
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, including a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange and prepare for it.
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, with each room controlled separately.
Air conditioning around Polstead Heath
On the National Heritage List, around 5 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Polstead Heath; Spencer's Farmhouse (grade II) is one. If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to Babergh council, typically the planning authority here where it’s needed. The last census (2021) found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. A side passage or back wall normally gives the outdoor unit a home, and more than one bedroom can be cooled through a multi-split.
A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call. A system that heats as well as cools can also take the chill off a garden room or extension in winter.

Your questions about air conditioning in Polstead Heath
Can you do air conditioning in Polstead Heath?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Polstead Heath is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
Will you come out to Polstead Heath?
Yes. Polstead Heath is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
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.
How long will the installation take?
A single-room system is typically fitted in a day. Multi-room and ducted systems take longer, depending on the pipe routes and access, and we tell you how long on the quote.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
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.
What air conditioning won’t do
Air conditioning cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If you’re not sure, just ring 07833 053749 and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Polstead Heath.
- 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.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Report drips, noises or error codes straight away
- Keep the room closed while it runs
An annual service keeps the system running efficiently, and some manufacturers make servicing a warranty condition. We’ll remind you when it’s due, so it doesn’t get forgotten.
Do not ignore small changes. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault, and early repairs are normally simpler.
From one of our customers
“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.”
