Air conditioning in Eel Pie Island
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we can install and certify it as part of the job. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, it’s the job we do every week across Greater London.
London homes in Eel Pie Island can be short of outside space, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

Common questions in Eel Pie Island
Can I fit air conditioning in Eel Pie Island without planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Eel Pie Island sits inside the Twickenham Riverside Conservation Area. 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 the local planning authority (for Eel Pie Island, typically Richmond-Upon-Thames council).
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Eel Pie Island?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that can’t wait. Call 07833 053749 and tell us what’s happened.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
Not the refrigerant work. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Floor area is only part of it. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
How it 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 about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Eel Pie Island.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- 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.
- Connections are made, checked for leaks and pulled down to a vacuum.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Advice
When to call us in Eel Pie Island
Portable units are often where people start, and why they call us. A portable unit has to vent its warm air through a hose out of a window, which lets some heat back in, and its compressor sits in the room with you. A fixed split system puts the compressor outside.
If any of these sounds familiar, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A business premises that overheats in summer
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- Not knowing which system, size or brand to choose
If you work from home near Twickenham station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they hold F-Gas company certification, not just individual qualifications
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
