What commercial work looks like in The Stocks
About 49 miles out from central London, The Stocks is part of the South East area we work across.
Churches and halls such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. A bursar or site manager at a school like Wittersham Church of England Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.
The Stocks is about 11 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. From the centre of The Stocks to the outskirts, our engineers cover commercial air conditioning, from small jobs to large ones. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and The Stocks is one of them. Our Eastbourne page covers places nearby, about 25 miles away.
The closest recent job we can point to from The Stocks was on Mermaid Street, Rye (TN31), about 4 miles south: installing three Fujitsu wall-mounted units in guest bedrooms, with the outdoor units positioned in the hotel’s walled rear garden.

How we handle commercial air conditioning in The Stocks
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. We are often asked to deal with offices that get too hot in summer and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, on multi-split systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near The Stocks, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
The records are your 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.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:

How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos of the room and the outside of the property help us plan a visit to The Stocks.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
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 on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

Common questions in The Stocks
Is The Stocks within the area you cover?
Yes. The Stocks is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in The Stocks need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central The Stocks 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for The Stocks, normally Ashford council).
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
For some brands, yes. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.
Are you TM44 assessors?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
What the work involves, system by system
Shops and restaurants
Restaurant dining rooms have changing loads through the day, so the system and its controls need to respond.
Ducted systems
A single ducted unit can feed several grilles where the layout allows.
Rented and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the property, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed-price quote.
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 are happy to deal with whoever it is.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
