Lewson Street questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Lewson Street?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Lewson Street Conservation Area takes in the middle of Lewson Street. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Swale council, typically the authority for Lewson Street.
Is Lewson Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Lewson Street is within the area we cover across London and the South East. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks and records, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Lewson Street can be planned properly.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

What commercial work looks like in Lewson Street
Lewson Street is within about 3 miles of the coast. Commercial condensers near the coast should be checked for corrosion on every maintenance visit. There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Lewson Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. 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 Church of St Mary, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. A bursar or site manager at a school like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

Work in ME9 follows the same survey, fixed-price quote and written records as everywhere else we cover. World's End, Lewson Street Road and Norton Road and the roads off them are all inside our area.

Landmarks near Lewson Street

Well-known places in the area include Sittingbourne Heritage Museum (3.6 miles north-west) and Newnham Castle (2.2 miles south).
Leave it or put it right?
A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Waiting for a failure removes that choice. A system that’s left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Safe owner checks
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
