Chevening commercial air conditioning
We cover Chevening for design, installation, servicing and repair of air conditioning for offices, shops, hospitality and public buildings. Diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we finish.
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us for straight advice and a fixed price.
Asking for a quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- The address and the type of property
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
About our commercial air conditioning in Chevening
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 are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Typical jobs include IT rooms that need resilient cooling and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems.
Around Chevening, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What air conditioning won’t do
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Boiler installation or repair
If in doubt, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Chevening
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Chevening?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Chevening is in a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Sevenoaks council, which is typically the planning authority for Chevening.
Is Chevening in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Chevening is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.

The process
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Chevening.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
