Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Snoll Hatch
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The timing is set out with your quote. Common call-outs are for comms rooms without enough cooling and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, across server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
For a business near Snoll Hatch, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Different systems, different jobs
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. The system is sized for what the space really needs and choose units that suit the ceiling and layout.
Ducted systems
A ducted system hides the indoor unit and feeds air to the room through grilles. They suit spaces where a visible unit isn’t wanted, such as hotels, restaurants and shops.
Common problems we fix in Snoll Hatch
A TM44 report, an F-gas audit or an insurer’s question can prompt the call. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order, so you can show what’s been done.
Common reasons people call us include:
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
If you look after a school such as East Peckham Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

What happens on the day
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it does not catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. A few photos help us make the most of a visit to Snoll Hatch.
- 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.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Structural alterations to the building
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
If in doubt, ring us on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes

Snoll Hatch: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Snoll Hatch without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The Snoll Hatch, East Peckham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Snoll Hatch. 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 Tonbridge and Malling council, which is usually the planning authority for Snoll Hatch.
Will you come out to Snoll Hatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
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.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept, and we provide both.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
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, so we explain the terms on your quote.
