How we handle commercial air conditioning in Dungeness
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. If you’re dealing with F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, we can help.
Around Dungeness, there’s usually space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Commercial air conditioning in Dungeness: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Dungeness is close enough for sea air to matter. Rooftop and wall-mounted plant near the sea needs protecting from salt air, through position, coil coatings where available and regular maintenance.
Installs for businesses are planned so you can keep trading.
Dungeness is about 11 miles south-west of Hythe, in Kent. Homes and businesses alike in Dungeness, we can help with commercial air conditioning. We reply to enquiries the same working day, and there’s a 24/7 emergency line. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Dungeness among them. Eastbourne is in our area too, about 31 miles from Dungeness.
Our nearest recent job to Dungeness was on Mermaid Street, Rye (TN31), about 11 miles west: installing three Fujitsu wall-mounted units in guest bedrooms, with the outdoor units positioned in the hotel’s walled rear garden.
Whether you are on Dungeness Road and Reactoe One Road or anywhere close by, we can help. All of TN29 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We also cover Lydd-on-Sea (2 miles north), Greatstone-on-Sea (4 miles north), Lydd (4 miles north-west), Littlestone-on-Sea (4 miles north) and New Romney (5 miles north). Larger places within reach include Folkestone (14 miles north-east), Hythe (11 miles north-east), Cheriton (14 miles north-east) and South Willesborough (15 miles north).
What’s near Dungeness
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Britannia Inn and the streets around them. A little further out are Lydd Town Museum (3.7 miles north-west). Not far away are RSPB Dungeness and Burnthouse Pen.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Dungeness
Do you cover smaller places like Dungeness?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Dungeness?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Dungeness sits inside the Dungeness 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Folkestone and Hythe council, usually the authority for Dungeness.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Common problems we fix in Dungeness
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Each area has its own hours and heat load and that shapes the system and the controls.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Server rooms running too warm
Above 12 kW of effective rated output, an accredited energy assessor has to inspect the system at least every five years.
