Rented and managed buildings
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.
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.
Commercial air conditioning in Thong
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before we start. If the problem is workspaces that overheat on warm days and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, we can sort it out.
For a hall or similar building near Thong, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use.
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.

Commercial air conditioning around Thong
The coast is only about 3 miles from Thong. Salt air shortens the life of unprotected outdoor coils, so coastal commercial systems need the right kit and regular servicing. There are about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 18 schools and colleges and about 4 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Thong, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule.
For a school like Riverview Infant School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. Churches and halls such as Church of St Peter and St Paul 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.
Thong is about 2 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. Wherever you are in the DA12 postcode area, our engineers can take on commercial air conditioning. We cover 922 places across Kent, from busy centres to quieter spots. Our Bromley page covers places nearby, about 17 miles away.
Our nearest recent job to Thong was on Station Road, Orpington (BR6), about 13 miles west: installing three Daikin cassette units in the main office area and a wall-mounted unit in the client meeting room.

Around Thong
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to Shorne Woods Country Park and Thamesview School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Sole Street station, about 2.2 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include Rochester Castle (4.5 miles east) and Gravesham Museum (2.6 miles north-west).

Why act early in Thong
A system that can’t cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. It’s far easier to plan new work in the cooler months than to scramble when it’s hot. A system that is left with a fault, or without a service, usually costs more to run.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

Thong questions
Will air conditioning in Thong need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Thong, Shorne Conservation Area takes in the middle of Thong. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Thong, normally Gravesham council).
Will you come out to Thong?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
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.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
