Tankerton questions
Will air conditioning in Tankerton need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Tankerton is a short walk from the Tankerton Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Tankerton, usually Canterbury City council) when it matters.
Is Tankerton within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
It depends on the rooms and the building. A split suits one room, a multi-split several, a ducted system hides the unit, and a cassette spreads air across larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Air con installers in Tankerton
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi are among the brands we fit. 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. Modern air conditioning heats as well as cools: in heating mode they work as an air-to-air heat pump, so a system bought for summer earns its keep in winter too.
Outdoor units around Tankerton often sit on the ground or a low wall bracket at the back of the house, where it’s tucked away but still easy to reach for servicing.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Let and managed properties
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Tankerton and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
What an install looks like in Tankerton
The coast is only about 1 mile from Tankerton. That is worth knowing for an install, as salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor coils and fixings, so we choose the position and fixings with that in mind. About 80% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). Houses usually have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Living close to Church of All Saints? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. In a place like Tankerton, parking is rarely an issue, but tell us about gates and access to the back of the property.

Advice
What air conditioning cannot fix
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Tankerton
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
If you commute from Whitstable station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed.
Before booking anyone
- What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
