Questions from Teston
Is air conditioning in Teston permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Teston Conservation Area is close to the centre of Teston. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Maidstone council, which is typically the planning authority for Teston.
Will you come out to Teston?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Are you TM44 assessors?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone, and we’re happy to show ours.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.
Commercial air conditioning in Teston, done properly
The right system depends on the building. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. If you are dealing with older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and server rooms running too warm, we can help.
For a business near Teston, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

After we have gone
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
Should anything seem off after handover, phone 07833 053749 and we will look into it. Our 24/7 emergency line covers breakdowns.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
Rented and managed buildings
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Teston.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Ask for a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

VRF and VRV systems
Some VRF systems can heat some rooms while cooling others, depending on the system chosen. We explain whether that would help your building.
Shops and restaurants
Restaurant dining rooms have changing loads through the day, so the system and its controls need to respond.
