We can install in the evenings, at weekends or in phases, so the office stays open.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes leave only the grille on show, which keeps the look of the ceiling tidy.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in The Burroughs
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 a single fault does not leave the room without cooling. If you’re dealing with systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and work raised by a TM44 inspection, we can sort it out.
London buildings in The Burroughs can have little space for outdoor plant, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units.
AirCon Doctor is an F-Gas certified company and NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Our engineers hold the F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.

Questions from The Burroughs
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in The Burroughs?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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 The Burroughs permitted development?
It depends on the property. Central The Burroughs is a short walk from the Hendon The Burroughs 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 local planning authority (for The Burroughs, typically Barnet council) when it matters.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size across London and the South East. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time, with records kept for each visit.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The F-gas rules share it between the equipment’s operator and the engineers who work on it. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Business air conditioning in The Burroughs
Food Standards Agency records list about 181 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 43 schools and colleges in and around The Burroughs, up to about a mile and a half out. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 45% of homes across The Burroughs and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data, and the last census (2021) found about 59% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
If you look after a school such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays. Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Burroughs
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
We show your team how to use the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Make sure filters are maintained and outdoor units have space. Restricted airflow puts strain on the whole system.

What we do, step by step
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. 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. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to The Burroughs.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Installation is scheduled to fit the business, with out-of-hours and phased work where needed.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
Get a fixed-price quote
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 simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
