Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Swanley
We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in Swanley and across Kent. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. If you are dealing with installs that must fit around trading hours and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, we can sort it out.
For a business near Swanley, there’s typically space for plant at the rear, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What owners can safely do
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are usually the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Acting as the energy assessor
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and property managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
Commercial air conditioning in Swanley: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 7 schools and colleges and about 11 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Swanley, up to about a mile and a half out. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule.
A bursar or site manager at a school like St Bartholomew's Catholic Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. If you run a surgery, clinic or pharmacy in the area around Queen Mary's Hospital, about 3.4 miles north-west, cleanable, quiet units and regular maintenance matter.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Swanley
Is air conditioning in Swanley permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Swanley sits inside a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 the local planning authority (for Swanley, usually Sevenoaks council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Swanley?
We do: Swanley falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few pictures.
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 set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

From one of our customers
“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.”
