Commercial air conditioning in Charcott, done properly
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have 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. If the problem is staff complaining about the temperature and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, we can help.
In a village like Charcott, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

After we have gone
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions, so you know what’s needed.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Blocked filters and obstructed outdoor units make the system work harder.

Common questions in Charcott
Can I fit air conditioning in Charcott without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Charcott. 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 local planning authority (for Charcott, usually Sevenoaks council) when it matters.
Is Charcott in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Charcott is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
The operator and the service technicians share responsibility. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept, and we provide both.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. 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 tidy up before we leave. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to Charcott.
- 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.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Charcott
A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load and the system needs to match the new layout.
Reasons to give us a call include:
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Tonbridge Cottage Hospital (about 4.5 miles south-east) typically want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Before you call an engineer
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are normally the one part owners can clean, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
