Commercial air conditioning in Upper Harbledown
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. Typical jobs include leak check schedules that have slipped and workspaces that overheat on warm days, across wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes.
In a village like Upper Harbledown, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
- Building work beyond the installation itself
If in doubt, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll say what we think.

For anyone managing more than one building, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
Upper Harbledown questions
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Upper Harbledown?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Upper Harbledown is in the Upper Harbledown Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Upper Harbledown, usually Canterbury City council) when it matters.
Do you cover Upper Harbledown for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Upper Harbledown falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
How quickly will you reply?
On the same working day you contact us. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally 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.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re 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.
