About our commercial air conditioning in Wickham
The right system depends on the building. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. The work covers server and comms room cooling, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes, and the jobs we see most are commercial systems near the end of their life and R410A systems getting dearer to top up.
For a business near Wickham, there’s usually space for plant at the rear, which keeps them out of sight and easy to service.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

How the visit works
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos of the room and the outside wall help us plan a job near Wickham.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- The system is commissioned and you receive the F-gas records, handover notes and manufacturer paperwork.

FAQs for Wickham
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Wickham?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The Wickham Conservation Area takes in the middle of Wickham. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Winchester City council, which is usually the planning authority for Wickham.
Is Wickham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Wickham is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes. We fit the installation around when the building is in use and phase it where needed.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: sheets over the floor and nearby furniture. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards before we leave.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.

For a school like Wickham Church of England Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What kind of system it is
- The number of rooms, units or zones
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier for straight advice and a fixed price.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Your installation or service records
Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because every property is different. After a look at the job, by photos or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, call 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or send an email.
