How we handle commercial air conditioning in Farthingloe
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. If you’re dealing with IT rooms that need resilient cooling and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, we can help.
In a village like Farthingloe, 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Farthingloe questions
Will you come out to Farthingloe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Can I fit air conditioning in Farthingloe without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Farthingloe is in a conservation area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Dover council, which is normally the planning authority for Farthingloe.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can I do the refrigerant work 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 circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
What commercial work looks like in Farthingloe
At about 1 mile from the coast, Farthingloe is close enough for sea air to matter. Commercial condensers near the coast should be checked for corrosion on every maintenance visit. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 33 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels and guest houses and about 7 schools and colleges in and around Farthingloe, 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.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Buckland Hospital (about 1.2 miles north-east) typically want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean. If you look after a school such as Aycliffe Community Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

What owners can safely do
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and talk you through it. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Farthingloe.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Related advice
After we have gone
Looking after it is simple, and it helps at the next service:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Keep plant areas tidy
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
We show your team how to use the controls so staff can set it up properly. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Blocked filters and obstructed outdoor units make the system work harder.
When it’s something else
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email and we will tell you honestly.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
