Commercial air conditioning in Bough Beech, done properly
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and installs that must fit around trading hours.
Around Bough Beech, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

The process
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can usually 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. Seeing the property in pictures first means the trip to Bough Beech can be planned properly.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a quote
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Different systems, different jobs
Hotels and schools
In schools, the holidays are the natural time for installation and we plan the programme early.
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many have a built-in pump to lift the condensate, which we check on every service.

Bough Beech: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Bough Beech need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. A conservation area takes in the middle of Bough Beech. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Bough Beech, normally Sevenoaks council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Bough Beech?
Yes, Bough Beech is within the area we cover. Just ring us on 07833 053749 with a few details.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
As a guide, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme though it keeps disruption down.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before booking anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
What affects the quote in Bough Beech
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What kind of system it is
- The condition of any existing system
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: the equipment, the access, the work involved and the time it takes. Call for a fixed-price quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
