How we handle air conditioning in Aylesham
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. When someone in Aylesham asks us for air con, the first questions are usually price and who will fit it. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Where the outdoor unit goes decides how quiet and tidy the job is: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
In a smaller place like Aylesham, most installs are in houses and cottages, often with gardens, which usually leaves room for an outdoor unit. The bigger questions are the wall construction and the route back to the consumer unit.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what air conditioning will not do:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- Building damp that has a structural cause
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will say what we think before you book.

System by system
Electrical supply
A dedicated circuit is normally needed. We are NICEIC approved, so we fit and certify the circuit ourselves and that covers the Part P side.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. Commercial and VRF systems are priced after a survey and the quote sets out the design.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we clear up before we go. Around Aylesham, access is usually simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Before it runs, the pipework is proved tight and put under vacuum.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow

Questions from Aylesham
Is air conditioning in Aylesham permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Aylesham sits inside a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at Dover council, usually the authority for Aylesham.
Do you cover smaller places like Aylesham?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
How long does it take to fit air conditioning?
Allow about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. We confirm the time when we quote, so you can plan around it.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most of the time, yes: a dedicated circuit is needed. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
