Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Westgate-on-Sea
Can I fit air conditioning in Westgate-on-Sea without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The Westgate-on-Sea Conservation Area takes in the middle of Westgate-on-Sea. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Thanet council, which is usually the planning authority for Westgate-on-Sea.
Will you come out to Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
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.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
It takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The scale and programme decide most of it and the programme comes with your quote.
Why act early in Westgate-on-Sea
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. Small faults tend to grow, so it’s worth dealing with them early.
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building, and we tidy up before we leave. Getting to the outside of the property matters more than parking in a place like Westgate-on-Sea.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.

“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.”
