Commercial air conditioning in Kent
We design, install, service and repair commercial air conditioning and ventilation across Kent, and handle the F-gas leak checks and TM44 inspections larger systems need.
In Kent, a single split system typically costs £1,650–£2,795 plus VAT installed; a ceiling cassette is priced per unit.
Where we work around Kent
We cover all of Kent, including Maidstone, Gillingham, Chatham, Royal Tunbridge Wells and Folkestone. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include BR8, CT10, CT21, ME1, ME11, TN1, TN15 and TN30.
Buildings across Kent range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
If a system in Kent is old and keeps failing, we will tell you honestly whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Local points to consider
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kent often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Leased premises
If your Kent premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
