What commercial work looks like in Kennington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 83 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 9 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Kennington. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. The middle of Kennington is part of a conservation area. About 25 listed entries lie within half a mile of central Kennington, The Old House (grade II) among them. None of this rules air conditioning out. It just means the planning position is checked before anyone suggests a spot for the outdoor unit.
For a church or hall like Church of St Mary, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Kennington
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If the problem is server rooms running too warm and buildings that can’t close for the work, we can help.
Around Kennington, commercial jobs are usually a shop, surgery, pub, office or workshop. Many need just one to four indoor units, sized from a site survey.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Why deal with it now?
A system that cannot cope on the hottest days affects everyone in the building. It’s far easier to plan new work in the cooler months than to scramble when it’s hot. Waiting rarely makes an air conditioning problem smaller.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Workspaces that overheat on warm days
- Older systems that cannot keep up
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
Healthcare premises near William Harvey Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Aftercare tips
How well a system lasts depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Diary TM44 inspections in advance
Should anything seem off after handover, call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will look into it. Our 24/7 emergency line covers breakdowns.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.
What happens on the day
The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. If we need to drill through a wall, we agree the spot with you first. On site, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. We plan the visit to Kennington from the survey or your photos.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
Getting a price
Some jobs can be priced from pictures, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Advice
Common questions in Kennington
Is Kennington in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Kennington is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Will you come out to Kennington?
We do. Villages and hamlets get the same service as the bigger towns. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
Each manufacturer decides. If servicing is in the terms, missing one could affect a claim and we will tell you what your brand asks for.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, usually whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
