Air con installers in Ram Lane
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. When someone in Ram Lane asks us for air con, the first questions are normally price and who will fit it. We publish typical prices and do the refrigerant work as an F-Gas certified company.
In a village like Ram Lane, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Ram Lane questions
Do you cover Ram Lane for air conditioning?
Yes, Ram Lane is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Ram Lane?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Ram Lane sits inside a conservation area. 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 Ashford council, which is typically the planning authority for Ram Lane.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
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. Long pipe runs, difficult access, a new circuit and premium indoor units push the price up, and commercial systems are priced after a survey.

Pricing air conditioning in Ram Lane
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What kind of system it is
- How easy the units are to reach
- The equipment or parts the job needs
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The address and the type of property
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call 07833 053749 or email us.
Air conditioning around Ram Lane
About 78% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
Godinton House, about 2.1 miles south-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. Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

What we do, step by step
You don’t 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. Visits to Ram Lane are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- 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.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
How the job changes from property to property
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. Commercial and VRF systems are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Pipework and condensate drains
The indoor and outdoor units are joined by insulated refrigerant pipes, a cable and a condensate drain. The route is agreed before any drilling and kept as tidy as the building allows.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
