How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one area, depending on the layout.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes leave only the grille on show, which keeps the look of the ceiling tidy.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Godinton
The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, ducted systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about leak check schedules that have slipped and changes of use that need a new layout.
Around Godinton, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, which can replace old heaters in shops and offices.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Commercial air conditioning around Godinton
There are about 92 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 10 schools and colleges and about 11 care homes, nurseries and hospitals in and around Godinton, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours 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. A bursar or site manager at a school like Godinton Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Why act early in Godinton
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Falling behind leaves the operator without the evidence the rules expect and a maintenance contract keeps them on track. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but your price depends on the job in front of us. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk, and we will talk you through it.

Common questions in Godinton
Will air conditioning in Godinton need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Godinton sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not 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 Godinton, typically Ashford council).
Do you cover smaller places like Godinton?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
After a site survey, with a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. Photos of the existing unit and its label help with repairs and servicing near Godinton.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets and children away from the work area

“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.”
