Drayton: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Drayton without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of Drayton holds about 4 listed buildings and structures. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at East Hampshire council, typically the authority for Drayton.
Do you cover Drayton for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Drayton is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
No, the inspection needs an accredited energy assessor. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Every type of building has its own pattern and the plan reflects it.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
F-Gas certification shows a company is approved to work on equipment containing fluorinated gases, such as the refrigerant in air conditioning and heat pumps. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Drayton
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases so disruption is kept down. The timing is set out with your quote. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, VRF systems and ducted systems, and common reasons people get in touch are R410A systems getting dearer to top up and offices that get too hot in summer.
Around Drayton, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What kind of system it is
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
What owners can safely do
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.

How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we keep you posted if anything changes. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the photos you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Visits to Drayton are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Clear access to the fuse board
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

Aftercare tips
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. We can prepare the system and act on the report.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
