Questions from Friar's Gate
Can I fit air conditioning in Friar's Gate without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Friar's Gate holds about 5 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 Wealden council, which is normally the planning authority for Friar's Gate.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Friar's Gate?
Yes, Friar's Gate is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer provides it, on its own terms. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer, so keep your service records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time, with records kept for each visit.
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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. 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.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Friar's Gate
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, then send a fixed-price quote. So you know exactly what you’re getting and what it costs. If you are dealing with IT rooms that need resilient cooling and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can help.
Around Friar's Gate, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, 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.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
- What kind of system it is
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Friar's Gate can be planned properly.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
