Air Conditioning in Sellindge
One call covers air conditioning in Sellindge: diagnosis, fixed price, work and sign-off. An F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved, on Checkatrade.
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Common problems we fix in Sellindge
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Too many options and no clear advice
- A loft conversion that is too warm to use
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
Living close to Church of St Mary? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Air conditioning in Sellindge
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. A lot of the calls we get from Sellindge are about one room that is too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Villages like Sellindge often have older houses and cottages, some of them listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Air conditioning in Sellindge: the local picture
About 40% of homes in the Sellindge area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and Census 2021 figures found about 88% of households in detached or semi-detached houses. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. 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.
About 1.4 miles south-east stands Westenhanger Castle. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.
Sellindge is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
For a home or business in Sellindge, booking the survey now gives time to plan. The installation takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and the date is agreed with you after you’ve accepted the fixed price. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Sellindge.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
- Draughts and missing insulation
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Sellindge
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Sellindge?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Sellindge holds about 11 listed buildings and structures. 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 necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Sellindge, usually Folkestone and Hythe council).
Is Sellindge in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Sellindge is one of the places we cover. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few photos.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
There’s no single best type. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
We agree it with you on the survey. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We will tell you what to check before we fit it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
