Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Slade Green
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. Common call-outs are for ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, across wall-mounted split systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling.
Commercial systems in Slade Green are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and the work is usually planned around trading hours.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

Cooling for Slade Green businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 71 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 19 schools and colleges and about 31 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Slade Green. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 37% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St. Augustine's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. For premises near Slade Green station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.

Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Slade Green
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- The size of the job
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
Need a price for commercial air conditioning? Please phone us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details about the property. We’ll explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
Rented and managed buildings
If you look after several properties, we can plan visits across the portfolio and price them together. Every address has its own paperwork, so the files stay tidy.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
The process
Each visit follows the same order: check the plan with you, protect the area, do the work, test what we have done and explain it all to you. On site, the work takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Send us a few phone photos and we can often price a straightforward job in Slade Green before visiting.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
How to get a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749.

Questions from Slade Green
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Slade Green?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is air conditioning in Slade Green permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Oak Road Conservation Area, close to central Slade Green. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Bexley council, which is usually the planning authority for Slade Green.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work and MCS certified for heat pumps. We are members of Checkatrade too.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
It depends on the system’s tCO2e. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks and records with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We do not carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, with a fixed price before work starts.
