About our commercial air conditioning in Richborough Port
Commercial systems are commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, and a fixed-price quote follows. So you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. The work covers ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are installs that must fit around trading hours and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection.
If you run a village hall or similar building near Richborough Port, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off, and it can heat as well as cool.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Cooling for Richborough Port businesses
The coast is only about 2 miles from Richborough Port. Commercial condensers near the coast should be checked for corrosion on every maintenance visit. There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Richborough Port, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
A bursar or site manager at a school like Sir Roger Manwood's School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

Common questions in Richborough Port
Is the coast a problem for outdoor units in Richborough Port?
It can. Richborough Port is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion on outdoor units. The outdoor unit position, its fixings and regular servicing all help near the sea.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Richborough Port?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Richborough Port. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Richborough Port, usually Dover council).
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we’ll help with the system side.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need and the fixed price is built on it.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we will take it from there.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
When to call us in Richborough Port
In schools, the work has to fit around term time. Installation can be programmed for the holidays so lessons aren’t disrupted.
Look out for these signs:
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
For a surgery or clinic in the Ramsgate General Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT clearly
- If the figure could change on the day
- What’s in the price and what isn’t
What the work involves, system by system
VRF and VRV systems
Larger systems carry more refrigerant, so F-gas leak checks and records are more likely to apply. We calculate the tCO2e and plan the checks.
Server and comms rooms
Planned maintenance is especially important for continuous cooling, and a maintenance contract keeps it on schedule.
A customer’s words
