Greengate: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Greengate need planning permission?
It depends on the property. Around 12 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central Greengate. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t 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 Greengate, usually Newham council).
Is Greengate in your area for air conditioning?
Yes. Greengate is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
What warranty do I get?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system and the manufacturer’s terms need. Each visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Greengate and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Greengate
Air conditioning isn’t only for summer: most modern splits heat too. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Most enquiries from Greengate start with one hot room: a bedroom, a home office or a loft conversion. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
In a London area like Greengate, many of the homes we are 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.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

What an install looks like in Greengate
About 56% of homes in and around Greengate were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 39% of households live in terraced houses, according to Census 2021 figures. Older properties often mean solid walls and period details, so pipe runs are planned to stay neat and out of sight. Terraces have little side access, so the outdoor unit normally goes on the rear wall or a flat roof, with the pipe run kept short. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Homes near St Andrew's Church are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Greengate
Size matters more than brand. Too small, and it runs flat out without catching up; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy. Getting the sizing right at the survey stage avoids both problems. If a lease or managing agent is involved in Greengate, start the conversation early.
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Signs you need air conditioning in Greengate
Not everyone is after cooling. Old direct electric heaters turn electricity straight into heat, while a heat pump moves heat in from the outside air, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. Most modern split systems work this way.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
- An old system that needs replacing
- Too many options and no clear advice
Eastbury Manor House (roughly 3.1 miles east) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.

- Whose warranty applies, and on what terms
How it works
There’s very little for you to do 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 have done. If your building in Greengate has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive one fixed figure covering the kit, the fitting and the positions we agreed.
- The indoor unit is fixed in place, the outside unit positioned, and the connecting runs put in tidily.
- Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
- Last comes the run-up: every mode checked, the controls explained and the paperwork left with you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
