About our commercial air conditioning in Great Shefford
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside, so the building works as a whole. If the problem is server rooms running too warm and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, we can sort it out.
In a village like Great Shefford, commercial air conditioning is normally for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Great Shefford
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- What electrical work the job needs
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The pipe route between the units
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but your price depends on the job in front of us. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email.
Before you call an engineer
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
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.
Common questions in Great Shefford
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Great Shefford?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Around 17 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Great Shefford. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the planning department at West Berkshire council, normally the authority for Great Shefford.
Do you cover Great Shefford for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Great Shefford is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What does the operator have to do under the F-gas rules?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Will you make a mess?
We start with protection: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Are you TM44 assessors?
The inspection itself must be done by an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Photos of the existing unit help with repairs and servicing in Great Shefford.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
How to get a quote
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

What a customer said
“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.”
