- Getting landlord or building owner approval
- Boiler installation or repair
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments

Commercial air conditioning in Sevenoaks, done properly
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor; we’re not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Common call-outs are for IT rooms that need resilient cooling and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, across multi-split systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling.
For a business in Sevenoaks, we fit around opening hours, often over a weekend or a few evenings, and we leave the space clean and working.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.
Sevenoaks questions
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Sevenoaks?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Sevenoaks is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few pictures.
How do I get a quote for commercial air conditioning in Sevenoaks?
Send us photos of the room or the system and a few details about the property. We reply the same working day, and the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it, and the quote is based on that.
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.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a town like Sevenoaks, we fit the visit around you.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
Ask for a quote
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring 07833 053749 or email us.

Cooling for Sevenoaks businesses
Food Standards Agency records list about 55 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 18 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sevenoaks. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Central Sevenoaks is inside a conservation area. On the National Heritage List, around 26 entries fall within 0.5 miles of the middle of Sevenoaks; Bradbourne Farmhouse (grade II*) is one. That matters for air conditioning: permitted development doesn’t apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit cannot go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the local planning authority (typically Sevenoaks council) where needed.
If you look after a school such as Sevenoaks Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. Offices near Sevenoaks station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.

Before you call an engineer
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. For a heat pump, the main owner jobs are a clear outdoor unit and sensible control settings.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
Installing a cassette needs room in the void and a way to drain the water. Many include a pump to move the water away and that’s checked when it’s serviced.
VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant so leak checks and records often apply. We work out the tCO2e and set the check schedule.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
