Commercial air conditioning in Newbury, West Berkshire
Commercial air conditioning across Newbury and nearby, from a site survey or diagnosis to sign-off with the price fixed before work begins.
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
Before you call an engineer
Keep a note of anything odd: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Commercial air conditioning in Newbury
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. If the problem is fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and workspaces that overheat on warm days, we can sort it out.
For a business in Newbury, we fit around opening hours, usually after hours or over a weekend.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order, and every service is written up.

What else we do in Newbury
Newbury: your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Newbury?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. The centre of Newbury is in the Newbury Town Centre Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at West Berkshire council, typically the authority for Newbury.
How do I get a quote for commercial air conditioning in Newbury?
The easiest way is to give us a ring on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with a few details and photos. Simple jobs can be priced from photos; otherwise we arrange a site survey and then give you a fixed-price quote.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on what’s involved, but most of the time it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
At over 12 kW, inspections are due at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We do not carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. What we do is prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report suggests.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
The process
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. We book visits in Newbury at a time that suits you, and business work around your hours.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- The work is planned around your opening hours, with out-of-hours or phased work where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a quote
Quotes do not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.

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.
If you look after several properties, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Why deal with it now?
A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Leaving it until a system fails can mean urgent work at the worst moment. Booking in spring means a home in Newbury is ready for summer.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
