The Platt questions
Can you do commercial air conditioning in The Platt?
We do: The Platt falls inside our working area. Just ring us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Is The Platt within the area you cover?
Yes, and the size of the place makes no difference to how we work. We are based in East Grinstead and plan each visit so the job can be finished in one trip where possible.
Will I need planning permission?
It depends on the system and the property. Heat pumps on houses in England can be permitted development when they meet set conditions, including the MCS 020(a) noise check, while a unit that only cools is not covered and needs checking with the council. Flats, listed buildings and conservation areas have tighter rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, always. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.
How quickly will you reply?
The same working day. Then we agree a date that works for you, with a fixed price before work starts.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Certification shows a business is approved to work on systems that hold F gas refrigerant. That isn’t optional: it’s required by law, and AirCon Doctor is certified.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in The Platt
The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down.
In a village like The Platt, commercial air conditioning is typically for a pub, a shop, a surgery, a village hall or a rural business. Older buildings may be listed, so planning comes first.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

Common problems we fix in The Platt
Many businesses call us when an older system is struggling or failing. Parts become harder to find and the system cannot keep up so replacement starts to make more sense than repair.

- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
Healthcare premises near Tunbridge Wells Homeopathic Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Managing agents and facilities teams in The Platt
For anyone managing more than one building, we can quote and plan the work across all of them. Every address has its own paperwork, so each one has its own history.
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.
