Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Coombe
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted and cassette systems are all part of what we install, with VRF for larger buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see and we talk you through it on the survey. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Coombe it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: we look at the room’s size, windows, insulation and use before choosing a unit.
In Coombe, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are usually under the roof or behind large sunny windows. Many people start with one wall-mounted unit in the room that suffers most, and a multi-split can cover more rooms from one outdoor unit where space outside is short.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
You do not need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Coombe in advance.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

How the job changes from property to property
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
For bigger buildings, VRF systems link many indoor units to shared outdoor plant. VRF and larger commercial jobs are priced after a survey, with the design explained in the quote.
Multi-split systems
Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The route from the outdoor unit to each room is the main variable.
Air conditioning around Coombe
The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures date about 43% of homes in the Coombe area to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972, and about 54% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. For a flat, we look at balconies, flat roofs and rear walls for the outdoor unit, and the lease often needs checking first. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
With historic houses such as Addington Palace about 1.3 miles east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. Older streets near Church Hall United Reformed Church Of St Paul may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Here we cover the CR0, CR2 and CR9 postcode area. From Oaks Road, Coombe Road and Coombe Lane to the smaller roads in between, nowhere is left out. We also cover Croydon (1 mile west), Addiscombe (1 mile north), South Croydon (1 mile south-west), Shirley Oaks (1 mile north-east) and Shirley (1 mile north-east).

Near you in Coombe
Around Coombe, our work takes us to homes and businesses near Coombe Lodge pub, Royal Russell School and St Peter's Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is South Croydon station, about 1 mile west. Nearby you will also find St George's Walk (1.4 miles north-west) and Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (2.1 miles west).

For landlords and property managers
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings in Coombe and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.

Common questions in Coombe
Can I fit air conditioning in Coombe without planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 4 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Coombe. 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 Croydon council, which is normally the planning authority for Coombe when it matters.
Can you do air conditioning in Coombe?
Yes. Coombe is one of the places we cover. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
How much does air conditioning installation cost?
From £1,200 + VAT for a single-room split, with a typical range of £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your pictures.
Which type of system should I choose?
The right one depends on how many rooms you want to cool, how much space there is outside and how visible you want the indoor units to be. Ducted systems need a ceiling void or loft, and cassettes need a suspended ceiling and the survey confirms what’s possible.
When will I hear back?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
That depends on the lease, the building and where the outdoor unit could go. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
Wall brackets, ground level and flat roofs are all options, chosen for the pipe route, airflow and access. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.

What a customer said
“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.”
