What we do, step by step

Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, 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. We plan the trip to Postling Green around you.

  1. You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
  2. Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
  3. Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
  4. We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
  5. It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

Before we arrive

  • Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
  • Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice

Why act early in Postling Green

Planning ahead beats a rushed decision in a heatwave. When people buy in a hurry, the unit is often the wrong size or badly placed, and that’s hard to put right later. Booking the survey early gives you time to weigh up the options. Planning ahead for a job in Postling Green means we can bring everything needed.

What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Why book with us

  • A site survey and a fixed-price quote
  • Checkatrade member
  • Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
  • Electrical work covered by our NICEIC approval

Air conditioning around Postling Green

The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 40% of homes in the Postling Green area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 88% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Houses normally have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.

Around Church of St Martin, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install.

System by system

Offices, shops and commercial rooms

Offices and shops normally need several units and sensible central controls. We size for the people, equipment and glazing in the space and we plan the installation around your opening hours where we can.

Ceiling cassettes

A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. The survey confirms the void and the drain route.

Questions from Postling Green

Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Postling Green?

It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Postling Green. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Ashford council, usually the authority for Postling Green.

Will you come out to Postling Green?

We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.

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, with a fixed price before work starts.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.

Do you work on all makes?

The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.

How does the warranty work?

The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.

Is air conditioning possible in a flat?

In many cases, but permissions come first. Leaseholders normally need consent from the landlord or management company for an outdoor unit and holes through outside walls, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, and we flag anything that may need permission. This is general information, not legal advice.

When to call us in Postling Green

Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.

If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
  • Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
  • Uncertainty over the right type and size of system

Westenhanger Castle, about 3.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Comparing quotes

  • Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
  • Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
  • What happens if the job turns out to be different on the day
