Commercial air conditioning in Challock
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. Typical jobs include planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and staff complaining about the temperature, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Around Challock, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

Why deal with it now?
A system that cannot cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. Planning a replacement or upgrade before the summer is easier than reacting in a heatwave. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
No two properties are the same, so we price each one individually. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all make a difference.

What commercial work looks like in Challock
The centre of Challock lies within a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 14 within half a mile of the centre, such as Clockhouse (grade II). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which normally handles Challock where necessary. About 46 miles out from central London, Challock is part of the South East area we work across.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around William Harvey Hospital (about 5.6 miles south) normally want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

How it works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Visits to Challock are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- 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.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits

What F-gas duties does a business have?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.

Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.

A customer’s words
“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.”
