Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Southfleet
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 are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. If you are dealing with fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and older systems that can’t keep up, we can sort it out.
For a hall or similar building near Southfleet, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use, and it can heat as well as cool.
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 so it’s to hand next time.

The process
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. For a village like Southfleet, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or email us.

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 making it a common choice for larger buildings.
Offices
Different areas often need different settings and zoned systems make that possible.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Southfleet
Do you cover Southfleet for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Southfleet falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Southfleet?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Southfleet sits inside the Red Street 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 local planning authority (for Southfleet, usually Dartford council).
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Southfleet and across Kent. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
How we price commercial air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What electrical work the job needs
- What kind of system it is
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Need a price for commercial air conditioning? Please ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few details about the property. We’ll explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
