Leave it or put it right?
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 is hard to put right later. A survey now gives time to choose properly. An early booking makes the visit to Roughway easier to arrange.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and what it needs. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Why book with us
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- F-Gas company certification
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for properties across the South East and London

Air conditioning installation in Roughway
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust makes the same point: an air-to-air heat pump is what many people simply call air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Most split systems we fit in Roughway are reversible: the Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes called air conditioning, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
In a village like Roughway, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Work in Roughway is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, the clean bill of health: commissioning, the controls explained and your paperwork handed over.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Safe owner checks
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.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
FAQs for Roughway
Can I fit air conditioning in Roughway without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Roughway, Plaxtol Conservation Area takes in the middle of Roughway. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Tonbridge and Malling council, which is usually the planning authority for Roughway.
Do you cover smaller places like Roughway?
Yes. Roughway is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
Is air conditioning possible in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Will you work on another installer’s system?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Air conditioning in Roughway: the local picture

About 0.7 miles north stands Old Soar Manor. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Most people start with the room that gets hottest, then add more rooms on a multi-split if needed.

Looking after your system
After the visit, a few habits help:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
Before we leave, the system is commissioned and tested in each mode. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer so you know how to get the best from it.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
