How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Send pictures of the space and the outside wall, and we can plan the work near Lenham.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- 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
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
How to get a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Commercial air conditioning in Lenham
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure does not take everything down. If the problem is leak check schedules that have slipped and older systems that can’t keep up, we can help.
Businesses near Lenham often have room for outdoor units on the ground at the back, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Cooling for Lenham businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 schools and colleges in and around Lenham, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Lenham
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Lenham?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Lenham is a short walk from the Lenham Village Conservation Area. 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 Maidstone council, which is normally the planning authority for Lenham.
Is Lenham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Lenham is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim and we’ll tell you what your brand asks for.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.

Before you call an engineer
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
What we are called out for in Lenham
Restaurants and hotels need comfortable rooms for guests and staff. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use and that shapes the system and the controls.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
For a school like Lenham Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.
