FAQs for Bluetown
Is Bluetown within the area you cover?
Yes. Bluetown is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will air conditioning in Bluetown need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The half-mile around the middle of Bluetown holds about 3 listed buildings and structures. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Bluetown, usually Swale council) when it matters.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. The number of zones, the type of system, access and timing all play a part.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Commercial air conditioning in Bluetown
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 don’t carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. We are often asked to deal with F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and comms rooms without enough cooling, across server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and VRF systems.
In a village like Bluetown, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. For a village like Bluetown, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.

- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Getting ready for the visit

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
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.”
