About our commercial air conditioning in Rough Common
Many sites need more than cooling. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR, so the building works as a whole. Common call-outs are for changes of use that need a new layout and installs that must fit around trading hours, across server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
For a business near Rough Common, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
The records are your system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Commercial air conditioning in Rough Common: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 16 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Rough Common. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Rough Common, you reach the Harbledown Conservation Area. In the mile around Rough Common’s centre, 4 conservation areas have been designated. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 6 within half a mile of the centre, such as Moat House (grade II). If your property is listed or sits inside a conservation area, expect us to raise planning at the survey and to speak to Canterbury City council, usually the planning authority here where it’s needed.
For a school like Blean Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Eastbridge Hospital of St Thomas the Martyr (about 1.6 miles south-east) typically want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Common questions in Rough Common
Is Rough Common in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Rough Common is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Is Rough Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We do not carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
What the work involves, system by system
Hotels and schools
Schools often need installs during the holidays, with the programme agreed well in advance.
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating on systems designed for it. We will say whether it suits your site.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Acting as the energy assessor
- Structural alterations to the building

“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.”
