Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Wall-mounted split systems
Single-room split systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. Where you sit in that range depends on the pipe run, access and electrics.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, with a condensate pump where the drain cannot fall naturally. The survey confirms the void and the drain route.
FAQs for Thurnham

Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and pictures, and we reply the same working day.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Do I need planning permission?
Not necessarily. On a house, air-to-water heat pumps and, since 2025, air-to-air systems that heat as well as cool can be permitted development if they meet the conditions. Cooling-only units, listed buildings, flats and road-facing spots in conservation areas are where it normally comes up and the survey picks it up. This is general information, not legal advice.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.

Common problems we fix in Thurnham
In shops, offices and restaurants, the heat comes from customers, staff, equipment and lighting as well as the sun. Comfortable staff and customers are the usual reason businesses get in touch, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An old system that needs replacing
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
- Too many options and no clear advice
Older streets near St Mary the Virgin Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why

Air conditioning in Thurnham: local notes
About 17 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Thurnham, Church of St Mary the Virgin (grade I) among them. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the planning team at Maidstone council, which normally handles Thurnham has the final say on what’s allowed. About 79% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the last census (2021). With homes like that, finding a sensible outdoor unit position is rarely hard, and a multi-split lets two or more rooms run off it.
About 2.6 miles south stands Stoneacre. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
The process
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. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to Thurnham.
- 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 necessary.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
