About air conditioning in DA12
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. Each room is assessed for its size, windows, direction and how it’s used, then agree where the indoor and outdoor units go and how the pipework, cable and condensate drain will run before you get a fixed-price quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in and too many options and no clear advice.
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
What affects the price in DA12
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email for straight advice and a fixed price.

Where we install in DA12
In DA12, as across England, the same permitted development rules apply: cooling-only units aren’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road.
Our area stretches from Greater London through Surrey, Kent and Sussex to Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and DA12 sits within it. One phone number covers all of it. In the coastal parts of DA12, outdoor units benefit from a sheltered position and regular servicing.
Gravesend: If you commute from Gravesend station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed. With historic houses such as Cobham College about 2.9 miles south, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules.
System by system
Wall-mounted split systems
A single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. Long pipe runs, difficult access and a new circuit affect where your job sits in the range.
Pipework and condensate drains
After the pipework is fitted, the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated, which keeps moisture and air out of the circuit. The results go into the commissioning records.
What affects the quote in DA12
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the job
- The brand, model and parts involved
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
If you need air conditioning in DA12, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few pictures if you can. We reply the same working day.
Common problems we fix in DA12
In shops, offices and restaurants, the heat comes from customers, staff, equipment and lighting as well as the sun. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is typically what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
Customers normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Commercial rooms that are too warm for staff
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
- A loft conversion that’s too warm to use
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Wash or vacuum the filters as the manual describes
- Keep the F-Gas records, commissioning details and warranty information together
- Close windows and doors while the system is cooling
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you’re confident using it.
Give the outdoor unit room to breathe. Leaves, plants, bins and stored items around it restrict the airflow, and the system has to work harder as a result.
DA12: your questions answered
Which type of air conditioning is best?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling, which we check on the survey.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the job needs and how to do it and the fixed price is built on it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we will talk you through the next steps.
