How we handle commercial air conditioning in Knockholt
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. We’re often asked to deal with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and buildings that can’t close for the work, across ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like Knockholt, commercial air conditioning is usually for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Knockholt: your questions answered
Is Knockholt in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Knockholt is within the area we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Knockholt permitted development?
It depends on the property. The centre of Knockholt is in a conservation area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to Sevenoaks council, which is usually the planning authority for Knockholt when it matters.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept, and we provide both.

What we do, step by step
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Somewhere like Knockholt, it helps to know about lanes, gates and where to park.
- 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.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Why it’s worth doing now in Knockholt
F-gas leak checks and records are legal duties for most systems at or above 5 tCO2e. Missing checks leaves gaps in the records, and it’s simpler to keep on schedule with a contract. A dirty or faulty system works harder and costs more to run.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
