Business air conditioning in Highsted
Food Standards Agency records list about 48 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 15 schools and colleges and about 16 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Highsted, up to about a mile and a half out. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
Churches and halls such as Church of St Nicholas 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 Rodmersham School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Highsted
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and people most often call us about installs that must fit around trading hours and changes of use that need a new layout.
For a business near Highsted, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building.
The records are your 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.

Other services in Highsted
For landlords and property managers
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit 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. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. A note on how to find the property and where to park makes a visit to Highsted easier.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board

Questions from Highsted
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Highsted?
It depends on the property. The half-mile around the middle of Highsted holds about 9 listed buildings and structures. 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 Swale council, which is usually the planning authority for Highsted.
Is Highsted in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Highsted is one of the places we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
What happens if it’s left?
A system that cannot cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. Planning a replacement or upgrade before the summer is easier than reacting in a heatwave. An early booking makes the visit to Highsted easier to arrange.
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

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.”
