Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Damp from leaks or a lack of ventilation
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before you book.

System by system
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Commercial rooms often need more than one unit and controls that suit how the space is used. Sizing takes account of occupants, equipment and windows and we plan the installation around your opening hours where we can.
Pipework and condensate drains
We pressure test and evacuate the pipework before the system is charged, so the system starts life clean, dry and leak-tight. The results go into the commissioning records.
What we do, step by step
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Pictures of the space and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan the work in Trowley Bottom.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand

Trowley Bottom questions
Can you do air conditioning in Trowley Bottom?
We do: Trowley Bottom falls inside our working area. Just ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Trowley Bottom?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Trowley Bottom holds about 30 listed buildings and structures. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Trowley Bottom, usually Dacorum council).
Where does the outdoor unit go?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
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.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
It depends on the rooms, the system and the pipe route, but a single-room split is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Where you sit in the range depends on pipe length, access, electrics and the model, while commercial systems are priced after a survey.

Signs you need air conditioning in Trowley Bottom
Rooms in the roof are often the hardest to keep cool. The roof takes the full force of the sun, and warm air rises from the floors below, so a bedroom or office under the roof can stay warm well into the night.
Customers normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- A study or office that overheats during the day
- Old electric heaters you’d like to replace with something more efficient
Homes near Church of St Leonard are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the company is F-Gas certified, and whether you can check it
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
What a customer said
“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.”
