Homes in Romney Street and air conditioning
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 43% of homes across Romney Street and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and Census 2021 figures found about 82% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. Homes of that age typically 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.

How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Work in Romney Street is booked in advance at a time that suits you.

Advice
What air conditioning can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for Romney Street
Is air conditioning in Romney Street permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Romney Street sits inside a 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 Sevenoaks council, normally the authority for Romney Street.
Will you come out to Romney Street?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
Number of rooms, space outside and how much of the unit you want to see all decide it. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
Do you need air conditioning in Romney Street?
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sunshine through glazing, especially on south and west-facing rooms, adds a lot of heat, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
About 2.3 miles north-west stands Lullingstone Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette sits flush in a suspended ceiling and spreads air in several directions, which suits offices, shops and open-plan spaces.
Ducted systems
Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It suits rooms where a visible unit wouldn’t work.
