Office air conditioning is a cooling and heating system designed for the heat loads of an office: people, computers, lighting and sunshine through glazing.
Working in Chatham
Chatham supports a mix of high-street retail, professional offices, hospitality and light industry. Gillingham is about 2 km away.
That includes premises in ME4 and the surrounding districts. We also work in nearby Gillingham, Rochester and Strood. 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.
What is included
- Heat load assessment per zone (occupancy, IT, lighting, solar gain)
- Zoned design so meeting rooms can be controlled separately
- Ceiling cassettes, ducted units or wall units to suit the ceiling
- Coordination with your fit-out contractor, ceiling and lighting layout
- Commissioning, handover and F-gas records

The steps for a project in Chatham
Survey the floor
We look at the ceiling void, the grid layout, window orientation, occupancy and where the outdoor plant can go.
Zone the space
Open-plan, meeting rooms, reception and IT rooms are treated as separate zones with their own controls.
Coordinate the ceiling
Unit positions are set against the lighting and grid layout so cassettes and grilles sit neatly. We keep work areas in Chatham screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Install around the business
Work is phased by area or done out of hours so staff can keep working.
Commission and train
Controls are set with sensible limits and scheduling, and we show your facilities lead how to manage them.
What to think about in Chatham
Draughts and noise
Units are positioned so air does not blow directly onto desks, with quiet fan speeds selected for meeting rooms.
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.
Leases and dilapidations
In a leased office, agree with the landlord who owns the system and what happens at the end of the lease.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Chatham
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).

How much does office air conditioning cost in Chatham?
Guide prices in Chatham run from about £2,450 to £5,695 per zone, plus VAT. A typical job (office of about 150 m² with 4–6 zones) costs £10,295–£27,995 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
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 postcodes do you cover in Chatham?
All of them, including ME4. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
What size air conditioning does an office need?
As a rough guide, offices need about 80–125 W of cooling per square metre, more with lots of glazing, dense occupancy or IT. A heat load survey gives the real figure for each zone.
Does office air conditioning provide fresh air?
No — it heats and cools the air already in the room. Fresh air comes from ventilation, which we can design alongside the cooling.
