Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Shortlands
Server rooms and comms rooms need cooling that keeps going. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units so one failure does not take everything down. If you’re dealing with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue, we can help.
In Shortlands, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Cooling for Shortlands businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 151 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 6 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shortlands. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. London commercial jobs normally involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
A bursar or site manager at a school like Highfield Infants' School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. Offices near Shortlands station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.

What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Shortlands.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Let us know where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we will come back to you the same working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits you.
Advice
How we price commercial air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, and your quote is built on your job. What we look at:
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- What state the existing equipment is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Small problems, from blocked filters to slow leaks, tend to get worse, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, call 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The address and the type of property
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
To get a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and tell us about the property and what you need. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Before you call an engineer
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified 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 makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Shortlands
Do you cover Shortlands for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Shortlands is within the area we cover. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Shortlands?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Shortlands is a short walk from the Durham Avenue 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 the planning department at Bromley council, typically the authority for Shortlands when it matters.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out and we can help before and after.
Are you F-Gas certified?
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
A typical installation takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
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.”
