Commercial air conditioning in Sheldwich
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Sheldwich and the rest of Kent. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. The work covers ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are commercial systems near the end of their life and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
Around Sheldwich, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

System by system
VRF and VRV systems
VRF (variable refrigerant flow), also called VRV, connects many indoor units to shared outdoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately, which suits offices, hotels and multi-room buildings.
F-gas records and TM44
TM44 inspections are done by accredited energy assessors. We are not assessors, but we prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report recommends.
What we do, step by step
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Work in Sheldwich is booked in advance at a time that suits you.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Cooling for Sheldwich businesses
VOA council tax data put about 39% of homes in and around Sheldwich before 1919, and about 46% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind.
If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St James, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. Schools such as Sheldwich Primary School typically have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Questions from Sheldwich
Is Sheldwich within the area you cover?
Yes. Sheldwich is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can I fit air conditioning in Sheldwich without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Sheldwich is in the Sheldwich Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Swale council, normally the authority for Sheldwich.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
After a site survey, with a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we will tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How we price commercial air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What kind of system it is
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light

What a customer said
“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.”
