About air conditioning in BR4

Any installation we do in BR4 follows the same process as everywhere else we work: survey, fixed-price quote, a neat installation, full commissioning and the F-Gas paperwork. You know the price before work begins and the paperwork is in your hands when we finish. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night and a system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.

  1. We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
  2. The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
  3. On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
  4. Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
  5. It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.

Landmarks near Hayes

Around Hayes, our work takes us to homes and businesses near St Mary the Virgin, Coney Hall Recreation Ground and Hayes School, among other places. Also close by are Hawes Down Primary School (0.5 miles west) and New Inn (within half a mile east). Hayes has its own railway station: Hayes (Kent) station. Nearby you’ll also find National Psychosis Unit (1.6 miles west) and Bethlem Museum of the Mind (1.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Summer Hill and Hutchinson's Bank.

Where we install in BR4

From Beckenham, Hayes and West Wickham outwards, BR4 has every kind of home. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.

BR4 is within the area we cover from our base in East Grinstead. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed-price quote.

Hayes: If your home is in one of the older streets near St Mary the Virgin, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. With historic houses such as Bromley Palace about 2 miles north, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.

Managing agents and facilities teams in BR4

Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Let us know who will give us access and who the records should go to, and we will keep everyone informed.

If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so each one has its own history.

What affects the quote in BR4

Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. What we look at:

  • What we find on the survey or diagnosis
  • What electrical work the job needs
  • What kind of system it is
  • Which make and model is being fitted or worked on

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • The rating plate or label on any existing unit
  • Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
  • The fuse board and where it is in the property
  • The address and the type of property

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

What happens if it’s left?

Putting up with another summer of portable units and fans rarely makes sense. A properly installed split moves heat outside, keeps the noisy parts out of the room and most of the time heats too, so it earns its keep all year.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How extra work would be agreed if they find something unexpected
  • Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
  • What the manufacturer’s warranty covers and for how long
  • What paperwork you’ll receive afterwards

Common problems we fix in BR4

Loft rooms and top floors tend to suffer most. Heat comes in through the roof and rises from the rest of the building, which is why a loft bedroom can still be warm at bedtime.

Reasons to give us a call include:

  • A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
  • Portable units that are noisy and barely cope
  • An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
  • A business premises that overheats in summer

Your questions about air conditioning in BR4

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 talk you through the next steps.

Do you look at the job first?

Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including any issues with how it was fitted. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.

What accreditations do you have?

F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Which type of system should I choose?

It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.

Can I have air conditioning in a flat?

That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
