About our commercial air conditioning in Hickmans Green
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If the problem is changes of use that need a new layout and installs that must fit around trading hours, we can help.
Around Hickmans Green, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Hickmans Green can be planned properly.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go

Common questions in Hickmans Green
Is Hickmans Green in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Hickmans Green falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hickmans Green?
It depends on the property. Around 13 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Hickmans Green. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Hickmans Green, usually Swale council).
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
How long does a commercial installation take?
As a guide, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
How does the warranty work?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some brands make regular servicing a condition, so keep your service records.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Why deal with it now?
A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Leaving it until a system fails can mean urgent work at the worst moment. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, typically costs more to run.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 07833 053749 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Keeping the system healthy
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns
Once the system is commissioned, we hand over the records, the controls and the manufacturer documents. They’ll be needed for servicing, leak checks and TM44 inspections.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
Commercial air conditioning around Hickmans Green

Churches and halls such as St Barnabas are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. For a school like Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or email us.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
From one of our customers
“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.”
