Commercial air conditioning in Hextable, done properly
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If you’re dealing with older systems that can’t keep up and offices that get too hot in summer, we can sort it out.
Businesses near Hextable often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

Questions from Hextable
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Hextable?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hextable. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Sevenoaks council, normally the authority for Hextable.
Is Hextable in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Hextable is within the area we cover. To start, phone us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we will explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. In Great Britain, that certification is a legal requirement, not an optional extra, and we hold it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Will you make a mess?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. A few photos let us plan a visit to a place like Hextable.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- 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.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
Plan replacements before old systems fail, particularly where they use R410A.
Signs you need commercial air conditioning in Hextable
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows, and opening windows doesn’t always help. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
Schools such as Hextable Primary School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
