How we handle commercial air conditioning in West Malling
We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in West Malling and across Kent. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. The work covers server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and comms rooms without enough cooling.
In a place like West Malling, commercial air conditioning is often for a shop, a surgery, a pub, an office unit or a farm business. Many need just one to four indoor units, and we size them from a survey.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we’re happy to talk you through them.

Signs you need commercial air conditioning in West Malling
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Servicing and repairing R410A systems is still allowed, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
What we are most often called about:
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
- Older systems that cannot keep up
For a surgery or clinic in the Maidstone Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in West Malling
Will air conditioning in West Malling need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The West Malling Conservation Area is close to the centre of West Malling. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Tonbridge and Malling council, typically the authority for West Malling.
Do you cover West Malling for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and West Malling is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building, and we tidy up before we leave. Tell us about any gates or steps at your property near West Malling when you book.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
