Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
Space outside is rarely the problem in a place like Shoreham. The questions are more often the age of the walls, the electrics and how far the pipes need to run.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shoreham
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Shoreham and across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Use moderate settings for comfort and economy
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
The work area is left tidy: sheets removed, packaging cleared up and pipe holes sealed. Outside, the pipework is neatly fixed and protected as agreed on the survey.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
Shoreham: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Shoreham need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central Shoreham sits inside a conservation area. 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 local planning authority (for Shoreham, normally Sevenoaks council).
Can you do air conditioning in Shoreham?
We do: Shoreham falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
Typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT for a single-room split, depending on the room, the access and the pipe route. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Typically, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.

Why act early in Shoreham
The outdoor unit’s position is worth getting right first time. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can affect whether planning permission is needed. We agree it with you on the survey. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. For a place like Shoreham, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a price
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Air conditioning in Shoreham: local notes
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 43% of homes in and around Shoreham to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and the last census (2021) found about 82% 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. 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.
