Kingsdown: your questions answered
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Kingsdown?
It depends on the property. The Kingsdown Conservation Area is close to the centre of Kingsdown. 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 planning department at Swale council, usually the authority for Kingsdown.
Is Kingsdown in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Kingsdown is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
What accreditations do you have?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
About our commercial air conditioning in Kingsdown
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers ceiling cassettes, server and comms room cooling and multi-split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are new tenancies needing cooling and heating and comms rooms without enough cooling.
For a business near Kingsdown, outdoor units normally have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you and you will know what they ask for.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
