Ightham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Ightham?
Yes. Ightham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A few photos and the postcode are enough to get things started.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Ightham?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Ightham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Ightham. 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 Tonbridge and Malling council, usually the authority for Ightham.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
Expect it to take a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The scale and programme decide most of it and the programme comes with your quote.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before work begins, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
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.
Do you work on all makes?
We install and work on the leading makes, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Ightham
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. A maintenance contract keeps servicing and leak checks on schedule, with the records kept up to date with the cost agreed up front. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. Typical jobs include fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and server rooms running too warm, across wall-mounted split systems, server and comms room cooling and ceiling cassettes.
Around Ightham, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, shops, halls, surgeries and farm or rural businesses. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
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.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in Ightham?
Some businesses come to us because an inspection or audit has raised issues. We carry out the work and make sure the paperwork is in order and you have the evidence to hand.
Customers usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Server rooms running too warm
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
For a church or hall like Church of St Peter, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they looked at the job before pricing it
- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
Owner checks or an engineer?
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
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.
Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the paperwork can go to both.

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. We plan the trip to Ightham around you.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
