About our commercial air conditioning in Hankham
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 one failure does not take everything down. If you are dealing with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, we can help.
For a hall or similar building near Hankham, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Hankham.
- 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.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Hankham questions
Will you come out to Hankham?
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.
Will air conditioning in Hankham need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The half-mile around the middle of Hankham holds about 14 listed buildings and structures. 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 Wealden council, which is usually the planning authority for Hankham.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
An installation takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can phone 07833 053749 or email us to book it.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
When it’s something else
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Issuing TM44 reports
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Boiler installation or repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
