What commercial work looks like in East Dean
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Dean. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. Central East Dean is inside the East Dean Conservation Area. About 27 listed entries lie within half a mile of central East Dean, The Parish Church of All Saints (grade I) among them. 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 Chichester council, which typically handles East Dean where needed.
If you run a surgery, clinic or pharmacy in the area around Chichester Centre, about 5 miles south-west, cleanable, quiet units and regular maintenance matter. For a church or hall like The Parish Church of All Saints, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

About our commercial air conditioning in East Dean
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 are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
If you run a village hall or similar building near East Dean, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What else we do in East Dean
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in East Dean
Can you do commercial air conditioning in East Dean?
Yes, East Dean is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few details.
Do you cover smaller places like East Dean?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
From one wall-mounted unit to VRF across several floors. Cassettes and ducted units suit offices, shops and restaurants.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
We do, with contracts covering servicing, leak checks and the paperwork. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Why it’s worth doing now in East Dean
An older system on R410A can be kept running, but top-up refrigerant is getting scarcer and dearer. Planning a replacement on your own timetable beats replacing it after a major failure. An early booking makes the visit to East Dean easier to arrange.
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Why us?

How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. If a lane or gateway near East Dean is tight for a van, let us know and we’ll plan for it.
- 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.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
How to get 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, phone us on 07833 053749.

After we have gone
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and we can cover it under a contract.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
Landlords, letting agents and managing agents book us, not only the people who live or work in the property. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork, and we will keep everyone informed.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
