About our commercial air conditioning in Forest Hill
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. Typical jobs include systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and R410A systems getting dearer to top up, on VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems.
Around Forest Hill, there’s normally space for outdoor plant away from the road.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

Cooling for Forest Hill businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Forest Hill. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Roughly a third of a mile or less from central Forest Hill, you reach the Forest Hill Conservation Area. In the mile around Forest Hill’s centre, 2 conservation areas have been designated. About 25 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Forest Hill, Church of St Nicholas (grade II*) among them. Before any outdoor unit is fixed here, we find out whether the building is protected. Where it is, the local planning authority (usually South Oxfordshire council) has the final say on what’s allowed.
If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Nicholas, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. A bursar or site manager at a school like Sandhills Community Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

Forest Hill: your questions answered
Is Forest Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Forest Hill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Forest Hill is part of that. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from pictures and details for simple jobs. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Are you F-Gas certified?
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.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
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.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Each visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.

Different systems, different jobs
Ducted systems
The unit needs room in the void and an access hatch for filters, drain and fan to be serviced.
Ceiling cassettes
Installing a cassette needs room in the void and a way to drain the water. Many include a pump to move the water away, which we check on every service.
Looking after it afterwards
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
If anything doesn’t feel right after the install, phone 07833 053749 or send an email and we’ll look into it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.
What we do, step by step
Every visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, protect the area, do the work, test what we’ve 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. If a lane or gateway near Forest Hill is tight for a van, let us know and we will plan for it.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. 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, or email if that’s easier.
