About our commercial air conditioning in Lenham Forstal
Many sites need more than cooling. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR, so the building works as a whole. If the problem is workspaces that overheat on warm days and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, we can sort it out.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Lenham Forstal, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

FAQs for Lenham Forstal
Do you cover Lenham Forstal for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Lenham Forstal is within the area we cover. To start, phone 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few pictures.
Can I fit air conditioning in Lenham Forstal without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Around 8 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Lenham Forstal. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Ashford council, normally the authority for Lenham Forstal when it matters.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
A typical installation takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Out-of-hours and phased work can spread the programme though it keeps disruption down.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. The intervals are at least yearly from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and 6-monthly from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
Do you work on all makes?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For a new system, we suggest the make and model that suit the property and explain why.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.

The process
Anything involving refrigerant is handled by F-Gas qualified engineers, as the law requires, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you do not need a separate electrician for the electrical side. On site, it takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Visits to Lenham Forstal are agreed with you in advance and planned so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where the consumer unit is

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, the approach is the same: a look at the job first, a fixed-price quote, work booked with the occupier and written records afterwards.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Cooling for Lenham Forstal businesses
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lenham Forstal. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
Before any plant goes outside a building like Church of the Holy Trinity, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. A bursar or site manager at a school like The Lenham School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Owners can handle the everyday basics: 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.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
