We are based in East Grinstead and cover London and the South East, as an F-Gas certified company with NICEIC approval.
Many installs in West Langdon can go ahead as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats need more care: we tell you at the survey if it applies.
In a village like West Langdon, 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, and the outdoor unit position is chosen to suit the building.

West Langdon questions
Do you cover smaller places like West Langdon?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in West Langdon?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of West Langdon is in a conservation area. 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 local planning authority (for West Langdon, normally Dover council).
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, with supply, fitting, commissioning and F-Gas documentation included. You get a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
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.
How soon will you get back to me?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. On site, it takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to West Langdon.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures 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.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.
How to prepare
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Clean the filters every few weeks when the system is in heavy use
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. In busy periods, clean them every few weeks, or as the manual recommends, and keep space clear around the outdoor unit.
Regular filter cleaning is the simplest thing you can do. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
Different systems, different jobs
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey and the quote sets out the design.
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate, which takes care of the Part P notification.
Common problems we fix in West Langdon
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
The things we’re asked about most are:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
Homes near St Mary the Virgin are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
From one of our customers
“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.”
