Commercial air conditioning in Basted, done properly
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Typical jobs include R410A systems getting dearer to top up and commercial systems near the end of their life, across VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Basted, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Basted questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Basted?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Basted. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Basted, normally Tonbridge and Malling council).
Will you come out to Basted?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are you TM44 assessors?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we’re not assessors. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
What we do, step by step
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Basted.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Why deal with it now?
When the cooling cannot keep up, staff, customers and equipment all feel it. It’s far easier to plan new work in the cooler months than to scramble when it’s hot. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
Leaving a fault or an overdue service rarely makes the work cheaper. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records wherever refrigerant work is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

“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.”
