About our commercial air conditioning in Ash
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases so disruption is kept down. The programme is agreed before we start. We’re often asked to deal with leak check schedules that have slipped and buildings that can’t close for the work, on wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Ash, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Questions from Ash
Is Ash in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Ash is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Will air conditioning in Ash need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Ash is in a conservation area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Sevenoaks council, usually the authority for Ash when it matters.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we’re not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
Expect it to take as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. The scale and programme decide most of it and the programme comes with your quote.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. It means the system and the programme fit your building and you get a fixed price.
How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Ash can be planned properly.
- 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.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Advice
Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Ash
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
What we’re most often called about:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Server rooms running too warm
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Darent Valley Hospital (about 5.6 miles north) usually want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Commercial air conditioning around Ash
There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Ash, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 57% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care.
Schools such as New Ash Green Primary School typically have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

What the work involves, system by system
Server and comms rooms
IT equipment produces heat around the clock, so the cooling has to run continuously. We size the system on the heat load.
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.
