About our commercial air conditioning in Chartham Hatch
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. The work covers ducted systems, wall-mounted split systems and multi-split systems, and the jobs we see most are IT rooms that need resilient cooling and commercial systems near the end of their life.
For a business near Chartham Hatch, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: check the plan with you, put the dust sheets down, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. We plan the trip to Chartham Hatch around you.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To get going, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Advice
For landlords and property managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Chartham Hatch and across Kent. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Each property gets its own records, so the files stay tidy.
How the job changes from property to property
Offices
Office cooling has to cope with people, computers, lighting and sunshine. We size the system for the actual heat load with units that fit the layout.
Ducted systems
Ducted units sit in the ceiling void and deliver air through grilles. They’re chosen where appearance matters, such as hotels, restaurants and shops.

Common questions in Chartham Hatch
Will you come out to Chartham Hatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We’re based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Chartham Hatch?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Chartham Hatch. 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 planning department at Canterbury City council, typically the authority for Chartham Hatch when it matters.
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How long does a commercial installation take?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme but keeps the business running.
From one of our customers
“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.”
