The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. For a village like Kent Street, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process

Advice
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Kent Street
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, then send a fixed-price quote. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. Common call-outs are for systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, across multi-split systems, ducted systems and VRF systems.
Around Kent Street, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Kent Street
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Kent Street?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Kent Street. 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 the planning department at Rother council, typically the authority for Kent Street.
Will you come out to Kent Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How soon will you get back to me?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you need commercial air conditioning in Kent Street?
Heat builds up in commercial spaces from occupants, equipment, lighting and sunshine, and opening windows doesn’t always help. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
Schools such as Ark Helenswood Academy normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing
- Whether the price is fixed or an estimate
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for small faults to become breakdowns
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- Leave space around outdoor units
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. They’re part of the operator’s F-gas duties for systems that need checks.

“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.”
