Questions from Appledore Heath
Can I fit air conditioning in Appledore Heath without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Appledore Heath is in a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Ashford council, usually the authority for Appledore Heath.
Will you come out to Appledore Heath?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Will skipping a service affect 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. Keep every service record either way.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible so the business keeps running. We set out the timing before work starts.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
Expect it to take a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The scale and programme decide most of it, and we set out the timing with your quote.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. For a place like Appledore Heath, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Advice
Cooling for Appledore Heath businesses
Appledore Heath is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead.
Churches and halls such as Church of St Peter and St Paul are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. Larger commercial systems need F-gas leak checks and, over 12 kW of cooling, TM44 inspections.

System by system
Hotels and schools
Larger buildings may need TM44 inspections at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
F-gas records and TM44
The operator of a system at or above 5 tCO2e must have it leak checked and keep records. We do the checks and give you the paperwork.

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Why it’s worth doing now in Appledore Heath
Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs and we can do the work they recommend. Dealing with it now is typically simpler than a breakdown later.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form, and we’ll talk you through it.

“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.”
