Commercial air conditioning in Foots Cray, done properly
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before work begins. If the problem is changes of use that need a new layout and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, we can help.
Commercial systems in Foots Cray are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. That means planning noise, outdoor unit positions and access with the landlord or managing agent, and installs are often done out of hours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Foots Cray questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Foots Cray?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Foots Cray Conservation Area is close to the centre of Foots Cray. 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 needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Foots Cray, normally Bexley council).
Is Foots Cray in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Foots Cray is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
Expect it to take a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference and the programme comes with your quote.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That is not optional: it’s required by law, and we hold it.
How does the warranty work?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
Different systems, different jobs
VRF and VRV systems
With VRF or VRV, one set of outdoor units serves many indoor units. Rooms can have their own temperature settings making it a common choice for larger buildings.
Ceiling cassettes
Only the face of the cassette is visible for a neat finish.

What else we do in Foots Cray
The process
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we tidy up before we leave. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Foots Cray.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Parish Church of All Saints, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. If you look after a school such as Orchard Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

For landlords and property managers
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system and we’re happy to deal with whoever it is.
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
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.”
