How we handle commercial air conditioning in Ashurst
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are R410A systems getting dearer to top up and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
In a village like Ashurst, commercial air conditioning is normally for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common questions in Ashurst
Is Ashurst 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 I need planning permission for air conditioning in Ashurst?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Ashurst sits inside a conservation area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Wealden council, which is usually the planning authority for Ashurst.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them and stick to the interval they set.
How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Rural lanes and tight entrances are worth mentioning before a visit to Ashurst.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. Then you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
What we are called out for in Ashurst
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows, and opening windows doesn’t always help. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Customers usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Older systems that can’t keep up
- Systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Martin of Tours, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- If the figure could change on the day
How the job changes from property to property
Offices
Different areas often need different settings and zoned systems make that possible.
F-gas records and TM44
The operator of a system at or above 5 tCO2e must have it leak checked and keep records. We carry out the checks and provide the records.

“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.”
