Commercial air conditioning in Hillborough, 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 with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers ducted systems, ceiling cassettes and wall-mounted split systems, and the jobs we see most are systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and R410A systems getting dearer to top up.
Around Hillborough, many businesses choose systems that heat as well as cool, useful where old heaters struggle.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and 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.

What commercial work looks like in Hillborough
Hillborough lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Rooftop and wall-mounted plant near the sea needs protecting from salt air, through position, coil coatings where available and regular maintenance. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 care, childcare and hospital premises within about 1.5 miles of central Hillborough. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. There are 4 conservation areas within a mile of the centre of Hillborough. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of Hillborough, including Forge House (grade II). Heritage protection changes what an install can involve, so the survey looks at your address first and tells you plainly whether consent is likely.
If you look after a school such as Reculver Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

Hillborough questions
Is Hillborough within the area you cover?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. Visits to smaller places are planned so the engineer arrives with what the job needs.
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Hillborough?
It can, as Hillborough is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on coils and fixings. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
We can. We fit the installation around when the building is in use, including phased work floor by floor.
Are you TM44 assessors?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we are not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
For some brands, yes. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Commercial systems are priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost and the quote is fixed before we begin.
For landlords and property managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed-price quote.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: agree the plan on site, protect the area, carry out the job, test what we have done and explain it all to you. The visit itself takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Around Hillborough, access is normally simple, though gates and garden access are worth mentioning.
- It starts with a survey on site, looking at the space, the people in it and the equipment.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about parking and loading
