How we handle commercial air conditioning in Shooter's Hill
Installation is only the start. 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. Typical jobs include changes of use that need a new layout and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, on VRF systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Shooter's Hill included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

Honest limits
Commercial air conditioning can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Gas boiler or heating plumbing work
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Carrying out the TM44 inspection itself, which needs an accredited energy assessor
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Commercial air conditioning in Shooter's Hill: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 172 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 50 schools and colleges and about 52 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shooter's Hill. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 53% of homes in Shooter's Hill and the neighbourhoods around it were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and about 41% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
For a school like Shooters Hill Sixth Form College, air conditioning work is best done out of term. For a church or hall like Christ Church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

FAQs for Shooter's Hill
Can I fit air conditioning in Shooter's Hill without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Shooter's Hill. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Greenwich council, normally the authority for Shooter's Hill.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Shooter's Hill?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
We install wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Each commercial job is surveyed and then priced. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
What accreditations do you have?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
Can you work around our opening hours?
We do: evening, weekend and phased installation are all possible so the business keeps running. We set out the timing before work starts.
How the job changes from property to property
Shops and restaurants
Shops and restaurants need comfortable customers and staff. Work can be scheduled out of hours so the doors can stay open.
VRF and VRV systems
Heat recovery VRF can move heat from rooms that need cooling to rooms that need heating, depending on the system chosen. We’ll say whether it suits your site.
How the visit works
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to Shooter's Hill will be.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
Ask for a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because every property is different. Once we have looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Advice
After we have gone
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. Our tips:
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
Should anything seem off after handover, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will come back to it. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.
