Air con installers in Burnt Oak
Any installation we do in Burnt Oak follows the same process as everywhere else we work: a site survey, or photos for simple jobs, then a fixed-price quote, the installation, commissioning and F-Gas records. The price is fixed up front and the records are handed over at the end. Air conditioning installation in Burnt Oak starts with a site survey, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
A typical install in Burnt Oak is an indoor unit high on an outside wall, a neat pipe run and an outdoor unit on a bracket or ground pad, with the condensate drained away safely.
In a London area like Burnt Oak, many of the homes we’re asked about are flats, maisonettes and terraced houses. So the first questions are where the outdoor unit can sit, how the pipes get to it and whose permission is needed. A freeholder or managing agent often has a say in a flat, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What an install looks like in Burnt Oak
About 49% of homes across Burnt Oak and its surrounding area were built between the wars, according to VOA council tax data. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
Headstone Manor, about 4.2 miles west, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it. Homes near John Keble Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Burnt Oak questions
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Burnt Oak?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Watling Estate Conservation Area takes in the middle of Burnt Oak. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Barnet council, normally the authority for Burnt Oak.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Burnt Oak?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Under Part P, a new circuit has to be notified unless a registered competent person does it, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
Which type of air conditioning is best?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. The survey ends with a recommendation and the reasons.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for problems that can’t wait for a planned visit. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For simple jobs, photos and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Tell us the make and model and we’ll take it from there.
For landlords and property managers
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages around the people who use them.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. 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.
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.
How it works
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Before a visit in Burnt Oak, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a price
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from photos and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
