Questions from Chilham
Is Chilham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Chilham is part of that. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email with a few details.
Is Chilham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Which brands do you work with?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
As a guide, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme though it keeps disruption down.
Which accreditations do you hold?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Commercial air conditioning in Chilham, done properly
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. The work covers multi-split systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems, and common reasons people get in touch are installs that must fit around trading hours and missing F-gas records for commercial systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Chilham, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

How the visit works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. For a place like Chilham, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- 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
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The pipe route between the units
- How easy the units are to reach
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
Whatever the property, the quote works the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we’ll explain each part.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Leave it or put it right?

What commercial work looks like in Chilham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chilham. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Central Chilham is inside a conservation area. Listed buildings are part of the picture here: about 57 within half a mile of the centre, such as Church of St Mary (grade I). That matters for air conditioning: permitted development does not apply within the grounds of a listed building, in a conservation area the outdoor unit can’t go on a wall or roof facing a road, and a unit used only for cooling isn’t covered at all, so we check with the planning team at Ashford council, which usually handles Chilham where necessary.
Healthcare premises near Kent and Canterbury Hospital need air conditioning that is easy to clean and maintained on a schedule. Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of St Mary, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

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.”
