Air conditioning for homes and businesses in East Peckham
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. Air conditioning installation in East Peckham starts with a site survey, then a fixed-price quote that names the make and model.
The electrics are part of the job: a dedicated circuit where the unit needs one, certified under NICEIC, so the electrical paperwork comes with the installation.
Around East Peckham, many people choose a system that heats as well as cools, which suits rooms the main heating does not reach well, such as a garden room or loft.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in East Peckham.
- First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
- The quote is fixed and shows the equipment, where each unit goes and what’s included.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.

Common questions in East Peckham
Is air conditioning in East Peckham permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central East Peckham is a short walk from the Snoll Hatch, East Peckham 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 Tonbridge and Malling council, typically the authority for East Peckham.
Is East Peckham within the area you cover?
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 have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we’ll agree what happens next.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. Noise near bedrooms and boundaries is part of the decision, and the position can affect planning.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
For landlords and property managers
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
What air conditioning won’t do
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
- Problems with a gas boiler or the radiators
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Air conditioning in East Peckham: local notes
About 71% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Detached and semi-detached houses typically have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split.
Old Soar Manor (roughly 4.5 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on. Older streets near Church of the Holy Trinity may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Looking after your system
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
- Shut doors and windows when it’s on
- Choose a comfortable set temperature rather than the lowest
Questions after the installation go to the same number. Let us know what’s happening and any error code and we’ll help you sort it out.
Have the system serviced once a year. The engineer cleans the coils and drain, checks the electrics and the refrigerant circuit and catches small problems early, and it keeps any warranty servicing conditions in order.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
