Questions from Bishop's Stortford
Is Bishop's Stortford in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Bishop's Stortford is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is air conditioning in Bishop's Stortford permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Bishop's Stortford Conservation Area takes in the middle of Bishop's Stortford. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Bishop's Stortford, usually East Hertfordshire council) when it matters.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and tell you why.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. An undersized unit never catches up, and an oversized one cycles and wastes energy and we explain the output we recommend.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins, so you can plan around it. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Let us know about side gates, ladders or locked areas at your property in Bishop's Stortford.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What affects the cost of air conditioning
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many units are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
What you pay depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Useful things to send:

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
