FAQs for Hadlow
Is Hadlow in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Hadlow falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hadlow?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Hadlow Conservation Area, close to central Hadlow. 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 needed, we check with Tonbridge and Malling council, which is usually the planning authority for Hadlow.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from the major manufacturers. We explain the options after a site survey.
About our commercial air conditioning in Hadlow
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup, so a single fault doesn’t leave the room without cooling. If you’re dealing with workspaces that overheat on warm days and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, we can help.
Around Hadlow, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

After we’ve gone
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Budget for replacing ageing plant
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.
How it works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Somewhere like Hadlow, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Then call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
What the work involves, system by system
VRF and VRV systems
VRF systems hold more refrigerant than small splits, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
Shops and restaurants
Where appearance matters, ducted or cassette units keep equipment out of sight.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Hadlow
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows and windows alone cannot always shift it. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Look out for these signs:
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
Before booking anyone
- The make and model of any parts or equipment being quoted
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
