How the visit works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Broadbridge.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
Advice
Commercial air conditioning in Broadbridge
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside, so the building works as a whole. Common call-outs are for offices that get too hot in summer and leak check schedules that have slipped, on ducted systems, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Broadbridge, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed or in a conservation area, so we check the planning side first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Broadbridge: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Broadbridge need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 7 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Broadbridge. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Chichester council, which is usually the planning authority for Broadbridge.
Is Broadbridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A few pictures and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Structural alterations to the building
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will say what we think before you book.

How the job changes from property to property

If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
Shops and restaurants
For a discreet finish, ducted systems and cassettes are popular.
Common problems we fix in Broadbridge
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order and you have the evidence to hand.
Look out for these signs:
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue

Commercial air conditioning in Broadbridge: local notes
Broadbridge lies within about 3 miles of the sea. For a business near the sea, outdoor plant position and corrosion protection are part of the design. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels and guest houses and about 4 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadbridge. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
For a church or hall like The United Reformed Church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.
