About our air conditioning in Stone

We recommend a model on the survey and explain why it suits the room, and the manufacturer’s warranty terms are set out on your quote. Every installation in Stone begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
Around Stone, older cottages and newer houses can be very different to work on. Thick walls, low ceilings and beams need care with pipe routes, and a listed home needs consent before anything is fixed to it.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What an install looks like in Stone
The last census (2021) found about 35% of households in terraced houses. With a terrace, the back wall or an extension roof is usually the best place for the outdoor unit.
If you work from home near Stone Crossing station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Older streets near Church of St Mary may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Other landmarks nearby include Stone Museum of Geology (1.3 miles west) and Darent Valley Hospital (1 mile south-west). Not far away are Chafford Gorges Nature Park and Sawyers Lake.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Common questions in Stone
Is air conditioning in Stone permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 3 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Stone. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Dartford council, typically the authority for Stone.
Can you do air conditioning in Stone?
Yes, Stone is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. 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 work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Why deal with it now?
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. R410A, used in many older systems, has a GWP of 2088. An early booking makes the visit to Stone easier to arrange.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Everything the job in Stone needs is worked out beforehand.
- We survey the rooms and the outside of the property, or work from photos and details for simple jobs.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in

What else we do in Stone
After we have gone
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
- Book an annual service
- Keep the room closed while it runs
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. 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.
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.

“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.”
