- An office, shop or restaurant that’s uncomfortable for staff and customers
When to call us in Throwley Forstal
Many people try a portable unit first. Portables push their warm air out through a hose in the window, so the window can’t close properly and the noisy part of the unit is in the room. With a split system, the compressor lives outside.
Common reasons people call us are:
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Michael and All Angels, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

Air conditioning in Throwley Forstal, done properly
Not sure what you need, or where it would go? Just phone 07833 053749 with pictures of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we’ll reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. A lot of the calls we get from Throwley Forstal are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That’s normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
In a village like Throwley Forstal, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules do not apply to it.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Let and managed properties
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. The work itself takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Throwley Forstal.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Checks: a pressure test for leaks, then a vacuum to clear moisture.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
Pricing air conditioning in Throwley Forstal
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- What electrical work the job needs
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
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 play a part.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your installation or service records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call us on 07833 053749.
Common questions in Throwley Forstal
Can I fit air conditioning in Throwley Forstal without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Historic England lists about 12 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Throwley Forstal. 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 Throwley Forstal, typically Swale council).
Will you come out to Throwley Forstal?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. We confirm the time when we quote so there are no surprises.
How do you size the system?
We size each room on the survey, from its size, glazing, orientation and use. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we’ve chosen a particular output.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat a room in winter. The Energy Saving Trust notes that air-to-air heat pumps are sometimes referred to as air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we’re happy to show ours.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
A customer’s words
“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.”
