- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- An old system that needs replacing
- Too many options and no clear advice
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Visits to Shorne Ridgeway are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Shorne Ridgeway
Across Shorne Ridgeway, every installation follows the same steps: a site survey, or photos for simple jobs, then a fixed-price quote, the installation, commissioning and F-Gas records. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Shorne Ridgeway it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
New circuits are done by our NICEIC approved electricians, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
In a village like Shorne Ridgeway, many homes are older, and some are listed. We check that first, because permitted development doesn’t 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 example, 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.

What else we do in Shorne Ridgeway
Why it’s worth doing now in Shorne Ridgeway
Refrigerant rules have changed what new systems use. From 2025, single splits under 3 kg cannot use refrigerants with a GWP over 750, so new splits use refrigerants such as R32, with a GWP of 675. Older R410A systems have a GWP of 2088. Getting the date in early helps for a place like Shorne Ridgeway.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

Looking after your system
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
- Keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter
The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, following the manual, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Clean filters keep the air moving and help the system work as designed, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
FAQs for Shorne Ridgeway
Is Shorne Ridgeway within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Shorne Ridgeway need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Shorne Ridgeway is a short walk from the Chestnut Green, Shorne Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Gravesham council, normally the authority for Shorne Ridgeway.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
For one room, a split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What an install looks like in Shorne Ridgeway
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 54% of homes across Shorne Ridgeway and its surrounding area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 84% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age normally have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. Detached and semi-detached houses usually have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Older streets near Church of St Peter and St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.
