Installation is only the start. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front.

In a place like Ditton, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Most need one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.

Questions from Ditton
Can I fit air conditioning in Ditton without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Ditton Conservation Area, close to central Ditton. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, typically the authority for Ditton.
Will you come out to Ditton?
Yes. Ditton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you install out of hours?
We can. Work can be scheduled around your hours, including phased work floor by floor.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Ditton.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

What else we do in Ditton
Pricing commercial air conditioning in Ditton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The make and model of the system, from the label
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
What we’re called out for in Ditton
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 has to match.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Older systems that can’t keep up
- Staff complaining about the temperature
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Peter's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards
- How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
After we have gone
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep a log for each system
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Call about warning signs right away
Should anything seem off after handover, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will come back to it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
