Commercial air conditioning in Woodchurch
Many sites need more than cooling. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. We are often asked to deal with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, across ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling.
Around Woodchurch, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

An accredited energy assessor carries out the TM44 inspection. We are not assessors, but we prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report recommends.

Woodchurch questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Woodchurch?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Woodchurch sits inside a conservation area. 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 the local planning authority (for Woodchurch, normally Ashford council).
Do you cover Woodchurch for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Woodchurch falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We get the system ready and act on the findings.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
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 it’s worth checking. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we will help with the system side.
What we do, step by step
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 the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. If a lane or gateway near Woodchurch is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
