Points to plan for in Chatham
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.
Leased premises
If your Chatham 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Chatham 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.
Working hours
Most Chatham businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
Questions from businesses in Chatham
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Chatham?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,650–£2,795 plus VAT installed in Chatham, and a ceiling cassette £2,450–£5,695 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £5,695–£18,995 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Gillingham, Rochester and Strood?
Yes. Alongside Chatham, we also cover Gillingham, Rochester and Strood. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
Do you service systems you did not install?
Yes. We service most commercial makes and models; tell us the make and model if you know them.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
