What commercial work looks like in The Chart
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 care, childcare and hospital premises within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of The Chart. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use.
If you look after a church or hall such as St Andrew's, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. Healthcare premises near Tandridge Priory need air conditioning that is easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Commercial air conditioning in The Chart
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in The Chart and the rest of Surrey. Offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms all come with different demands and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are changes of use that need a new layout and TM44 recommendations that need acting on.
If you run a village hall or similar building near The Chart, heating and cooling that warms up fast suits a space used on and off.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we set them out on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

What else we do in The Chart
Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and we can cover it under a contract.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
Safe owner checks
Write down what you notice: 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 or a short video of the display is even better.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
FAQs for The Chart
Will air conditioning in The Chart need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Historic England lists about 5 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of The Chart. 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 Tandridge council, which is typically the planning authority for The Chart.
Do you cover The Chart for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. The Chart is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes, the programme is built around the site. Every type of building has its own pattern, and we plan for them.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How long does a commercial installation take?
A typical installation takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it but keeps the business running.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
How the job changes from property to property
Ducted systems
One ducted unit can serve more than one area where the layout allows.
Shops and restaurants
Restaurant dining rooms have changing loads through the day, so the system and its controls need to respond.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. A few pictures help us make the most of a visit to The Chart.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive

“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.”
