Air conditioning in Medway: how it works
Thinking about air conditioning but not sure where to start? Just phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with photos of the rooms and the outside of the property, and we will reply the same working day to arrange a survey or a quote. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about a study or office that overheats during the day and rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night.
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- We connect the supply, pressure test the pipework and evacuate it before the refrigerant is released.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.

Around Gillingham
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to The Robert Napier School, Featherby Junior School and The Robert Napier School, among other places. Also close by are Holy Trinity Church (within half a mile north-east), The Star pub (0.6 miles west) and Ambley Wood (0.8 miles south). The closest station to Gillingham is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Medway Maritime Hospital (1.6 miles west) and Six Poor Travellers House (3.3 miles west). For a walk, there’s Blue Bell Hill and Bishop Saltings.
Air conditioning across Medway
In Medway, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: an air-to-air system that heats as well as cools can be permitted development on a house, but cooling-only units, listed buildings and outdoor units facing a road in conservation areas need more care.
London and the South East cover everything from city flats to rural cottages. We’re F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps. Near the coast in Medway, outdoor units last longer with shelter from sea wind and a yearly service.
Gillingham: If your home is in one of the older streets near Holy Trinity Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. With historic houses such as Restoration House about 3.3 miles west, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
Common problems we fix in Medway
Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A small office or a busy room can warm up fast with equipment and people in it, even on a mild day.
Customers typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- Flag any change in how the system sounds or performs
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
- Have the system serviced once a year
We show you how to take the filters out and clean them. Clean them every few weeks when the system is in heavy use, following the manual, and keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves and clutter.
Clean the filters regularly, not just at the service. Blocked filters cut airflow and make the system work harder, so it uses less electricity for the same comfort.
Let and managed properties
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we will copy in whoever needs it.
Pricing air conditioning in Medway
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
Medway questions
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Do you cover Medway?
Yes. Medway is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover. We are based in East Grinstead, West Sussex.
How do you size the system?
Floor area is only part of it. Windows, the direction the room faces, the roof above and the people and equipment in it all count, and we take them all into account on the survey.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
