Shipbourne commercial air conditioning
Commercial air conditioning in Shipbourne from an F-Gas certified company, with the manufacturer’s warranty terms explained on your quote. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- Buildings that cannot close for the work
What we do, step by step
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. 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 plan the trip to Shipbourne 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.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Getting a price
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, give us a ring on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Commercial air conditioning in Shipbourne, done properly
Many sites need more than cooling. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. The work covers wall-mounted split systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and common reasons people get in touch are work raised by a TM44 inspection and staff complaining about the temperature.
For a business near Shipbourne, outdoor units typically have room at the back of the building, out of sight and away from neighbours.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Different systems, different jobs
Server and comms rooms
Server rooms generate heat all day and night and the cooling must keep up all year. The design is based on the equipment’s heat output.
Hotels and schools
If the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is required at least every 5 years and we can get the system ready and carry out the work it recommends.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Call about warning signs right away
- Plan regular servicing with a contract
Equipment warranties come from the manufacturer. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.
Commercial air conditioning around Shipbourne
There are about 3 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shipbourne, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
For a church or hall like Church of St Giles, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. If you look after a school such as Shipbourne School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.

How we price commercial air conditioning
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of system it is
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we’ve looked at the job, from photos or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, ring us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Shipbourne
Is Shipbourne in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Shipbourne is part of that. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line with a few details.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Shipbourne?
It depends on the property. Central Shipbourne sits inside the Shipbourne Conservation Area. 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 isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Tonbridge and Malling council, which is typically the planning authority for Shipbourne.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs and the plan reflects it.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased and the quote is fixed before we begin.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time, with records kept for each visit.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We can tell you which band your system falls into.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
