Commercial air conditioning in Ham, done properly
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns. We are often asked to deal with systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, across server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Ham, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, 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.

How it works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. We agree a date with you and plan the visit to Ham so we arrive with what’s needed.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Every quote starts with a look at the job, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. Then you get a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

What affects the quote in Ham
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- How many units are involved
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The condition of any existing system
What you pay depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, the access and what the work involves. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Good pictures often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
When to call us in Ham
A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. More people, new walls or extra equipment alter what the system has to cope with and the system needs to match the new layout.
Look out for any of the following:
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Server rooms running too warm
- Older systems that cannot keep up
If you look after a school such as Worth Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Whether testing, commissioning and paperwork are included
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
Ham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ham?
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.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Ham?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Ham is in a conservation area. 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 planning department at Dover council, normally the authority for Ham.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, on a survey, or from your photos and details where the job is simple. A fixed-price quote follows.
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.
Can you install out of hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible so the business keeps running. The programme is agreed with your quote.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
