About our air conditioning in Puddle Dock
Most air conditioning needs its own electrical supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. Need an air conditioning installer for Puddle Dock? AirCon Doctor works across London and the South East from East Grinstead, with a fixed-price quote before any work starts.
Space outside is often tight in Puddle Dock, as in much of London, so the outdoor unit may end up on a rear wall, a flat roof or a balcony. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and the pipe run is planned to be short, neat and out of the way.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Why deal with it now?
Where the outdoor unit goes matters to you and to the neighbours. Placing it well keeps noise away from bedrooms and boundaries and makes servicing easier, and it can make a difference to planning. We agree it with you on the survey. Approvals for flats in Puddle Dock can take longer than the install itself.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is straightforward, and it helps at the next service:
- Keep the room closed while it runs
- Have the system serviced once a year
- Don’t cover or box in the outdoor unit
If anything isn’t right after we have gone, call us on the same number. Tell us what the system is doing, and any code on the display, and we will talk it through with you.
Book an annual service. 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.

What else we do in Puddle Dock
How we price air conditioning
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

Your questions about air conditioning in Puddle Dock
Can you do air conditioning in Puddle Dock?
Yes. Puddle Dock is one of the places we cover. Just phone 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Puddle Dock?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
In most cases, yes. Running as a heat pump, it moves heat in from outside rather than making it from electricity alone. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
Allow about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. The survey tells us how long your installation will need so there are no surprises.
How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. For a job in Puddle Dock, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- 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.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Advice
Air conditioning around Puddle Dock
About 80% of homes in Puddle Dock and the neighbourhoods around it date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 60% of households live in detached or semi-detached houses, according to the 2021 Census. We check the wall construction on homes of that age, as it decides how the pipework goes through. Detached and semi-detached houses normally have space for the outdoor unit, and several rooms can share one on a multi-split. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
Hare Hall, about 4.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. If your home is in one of the older streets near Moor Lane Church, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.
