How we handle air conditioning in Tunstall
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Looking for air con installers near Tunstall? We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
In a village like Tunstall, many homes are older, and some are listed. That matters, because a listed home needs consent and permitted development rules don’t apply to it, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Air conditioning in Tunstall: local notes
About 81% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Houses typically have a side or rear wall with room for the outdoor unit, and a multi-split can serve several rooms from one outdoor unit.
Around Church of St John the Baptist, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. A loft bedroom or a glazed extension is often the room that prompts the first call.

Tunstall questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Tunstall?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Tunstall Conservation Area takes in the middle of Tunstall. 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Swale council, typically the authority for Tunstall.
Will you come out to Tunstall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Does air conditioning work as heating?
Yes, most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust points out that an air-to-air heat pump is often just called air conditioning. We confirm the heating function of the model we quote.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Normally, yes. The fuse board is checked on the survey, and any electrical work goes on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, and we are Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Looking after your system
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report drips, noises or error codes right away
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
The filters are the one part you will look after yourself, so we show you how. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.

How the visit works
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 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 Tunstall.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
