Air conditioning in Stick Hill
The best installations are planned before a single hole is drilled. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain, all before the price is fixed. Looking for air con installers near Stick Hill? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Many installs in Stick Hill can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.

Common questions in Stick Hill
Will air conditioning in Stick Hill need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Stick Hill is in 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 Stick Hill, usually Sevenoaks council).
Can you do air conditioning in Stick Hill?
Yes, Stick Hill is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You’ll typically need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Planning rules for flats are tighter too, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Somewhere like Stick Hill, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- 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.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Ask for a quote
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Commercial rooms often need more than one unit and controls that suit how the space is used. We size for the people, equipment and glazing in the space, and plan the work so the business keeps running.
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. We’re NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves and that covers the Part P side.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- A room that can’t take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

“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.”
