How we handle commercial air conditioning in Broad Oak
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure doesn’t take everything down. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are commercial systems near the end of their life and installs that must fit around trading hours.
For a business near Broad Oak, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building.
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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Questions from Broad Oak
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Broad Oak?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Broad Oak holds about 7 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Canterbury City council, typically the authority for Broad Oak.
Do you cover Broad Oak for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Broad Oak falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
We can. Work can be scheduled around your hours and phase it where necessary.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we’ll help with the system side.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Common problems we fix in Broad Oak
For hospitality, comfort is part of the experience. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use and that shapes the system and the controls.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
A bursar or site manager at a school like Sturry Church of England Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Broad Oak, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting 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. Once we have looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
