Boughton Malherbe questions
Is Boughton Malherbe within the area you cover?
Yes. Boughton Malherbe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Boughton Malherbe?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The centre of Boughton Malherbe is in the Boughton Malherbe 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 Maidstone council, normally the authority for Boughton Malherbe when it matters.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
The inspection itself must be done by an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from leading brands. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
About our commercial air conditioning in Boughton Malherbe
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Boughton Malherbe and the rest of Kent. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. The work covers ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and multi-split systems, and people most often call us about workspaces that overheat on warm days and IT rooms that need resilient cooling.
Around Boughton Malherbe, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

For landlords and property managers
From a single flat to a whole estate, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.

What we’re called out for in Boughton Malherbe
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 though it’s worth bearing in mind when planning ahead.
These are the situations we see most often:
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Nicholas, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
