Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Eastry
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. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and people most often call us about staff complaining about the temperature and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
For a business in or near Eastry, an air-to-air system can heat and cool, which can replace old heaters in shops and offices.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What happens on the day
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Eastry.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive

Commercial air conditioning around Eastry
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Eastry, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Mary the Virgin, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. A bursar or site manager at a school like Eastry Church of England Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

What else we do in Eastry
What owners can safely do
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
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 refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too in Eastry and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Common questions in Eastry
Will you come out to Eastry?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is air conditioning in Eastry permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Eastry. 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 Dover council, which is typically the planning authority for Eastry.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
