How it works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. If a lane or gateway near Barkham is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Commercial air conditioning in Barkham, done properly
Businesses cannot always stop for an installation. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs so disruption is kept down. The timing is set out with your quote. If you’re dealing with comms rooms without enough cooling and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can help.
Around Barkham, there’s typically space for outdoor plant away from the road, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Barkham
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. An early booking makes the visit to Barkham easier to arrange.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Let and managed properties
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
System by system
Hotels and schools
In schools, the holidays are the natural time for installation, with the programme agreed well in advance.
Server and comms rooms
Adding a second unit gives resilience and we can explain how they would work together.
Commercial air conditioning around Barkham
Food Standards Agency records list about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 schools and colleges and about 8 care, childcare and hospital premises in and around Barkham, up to about a mile and a half out. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
For a church or hall like Church of St James, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. For a surgery or clinic in the Wokingham Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.

Barkham questions
Do you cover Barkham for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Barkham is within the area we cover. To start, call 07833 053749 with a few pictures.
Can I fit air conditioning in Barkham without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Barkham is in a conservation area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Wokingham council, usually the authority for Barkham.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
Can I do any of the installation 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.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
