Commercial air conditioning in Westbere
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. If you’re dealing with ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, we can sort it out.
For a hall or similar building near Westbere, an air-to-air system that responds quickly suits intermittent use.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Seeing the property in photos first means the trip to Westbere can be planned properly.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- 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
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

For landlords and property managers
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.

Common questions in Westbere
Is Westbere within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Is air conditioning in Westbere permitted development?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. There’s a conservation area, the Westbere No. 2 Conservation Area, close to central Westbere. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Canterbury City council, usually the authority for Westbere.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas certified, NICEIC approved and MCS certified for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
What the work involves, system by system
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space above the ceiling and access for servicing so filters and drains can be reached.
Shops and restaurants
Dining areas fill and empty over the course of service and the controls need to handle that.
A customer’s words
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
