Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Southborough
There’s no single best commercial system. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. Typical jobs include ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, across server and comms room cooling, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
For a business near Southborough, there’s usually space for plant at the rear, which keeps them tidy and easy to reach.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

Why deal with it now?
A system that can’t cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. Planning a replacement or upgrade before the summer is easier than reacting in a heatwave. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, normally costs more to run.
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Why us?
- Listed on Checkatrade
- A site survey and a fixed-price quote
- A reply the same working day
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer

The process
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Southborough.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Southborough
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The pipe route between the units
- The size of the job
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before we start, with VAT shown clearly.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The address and the type of property
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Keeping the system healthy
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Do not let servicing slip
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Keep records of every service, leak check and repair. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.
Common questions in Southborough
Can I fit air conditioning in Southborough without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Southborough. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Tunbridge Wells council, normally the authority for Southborough.
Is Southborough in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Southborough is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. A new system comes with commissioning details, F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
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.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
A customer’s words
“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.”
