About our commercial air conditioning in Tickham
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them with the cost agreed up front. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. We are often asked to deal with ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, across wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems.
For a business near Tickham, outdoor units usually have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one area where the layout allows.

Schools such as Lynsted and Norton Primary School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

Questions from Tickham
Do you cover Tickham for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Tickham is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
Can I fit air conditioning in Tickham without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Tickham. 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 planning department at Swale council, normally the authority for Tickham.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time, with records kept for each visit.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from the major manufacturers. We explain the options after a site survey.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.

What else we do in Tickham
How the visit works
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a village like Tickham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where necessary.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Clear access to the fuse board
How to get a quote
For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Advice
For landlords and property managers
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
What we are called out for in Tickham
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows, and opening windows doesn’t always help. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Look out for any of the following:
- Older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer
- Changes of use that need a new layout
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Mary, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.
