Shirburn questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Shirburn?
It depends on the property. The centre of Shirburn is in the Shirburn Conservation Area. 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 South Oxfordshire council, which is usually the planning authority for Shirburn when it matters.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Shirburn?
Yes, Shirburn is within the area we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We look at it first and tell you what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
Commercial air conditioning in Shirburn, done properly
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. We’re often asked to deal with new tenancies needing cooling and heating and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer, on VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems.
In a village like Shirburn, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What else we do in Shirburn
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Call about warning signs right away
- File every leak check and service record in one place
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable, particularly where they use R410A.
Commercial air conditioning around Shirburn
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shirburn. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms.
If you look after a school such as Icknield Community College, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. Churches and halls such as All Saints Church are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. For a place like Shirburn, the timing is set with you and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about parking and loading
Getting a price
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Add the address and what you’d like done, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Rented and managed buildings
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
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.
How the job changes from property to property
Offices
We can install in the evenings, at weekends or in phases to keep staff working.
Ducted systems
A ducted system hides the indoor unit and feeds air to the room through grilles. They suit spaces where a visible unit is not wanted in retail, hospitality and offices.
What a customer said
“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.”
