Expert air conditioning for Hammersmith: a survey or diagnosis, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed-price quote.
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
- A portable unit with a hose out of the window
Rented and managed buildings
Bigger systems bring extra duties: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Air conditioning installation in Hammersmith
We approach an installation much as a doctor approaches a patient: survey first, install second, commission and hand over last. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. Every installation in Hammersmith begins with a look at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go, followed by a fixed-price quote with the brand, model and every part of the job set out.
In Hammersmith, as across London, the rooms that get hottest are typically 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
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 ring us on 07833 053749.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Common questions in Hammersmith
Can you do air conditioning in Hammersmith?
We do: Hammersmith falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hammersmith?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hammersmith. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Hammersmith, normally Hammersmith and Fulham council).
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. Any work is priced before it goes ahead.
Will you need to do electrical work?
In most cases. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.
What size air conditioning unit do I need?
It depends on the room, not only its floor area. Glazing, orientation, the roof and what goes on in the room all affect it and the survey covers each of them.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
It depends on the building and the lease. An outdoor unit can sometimes go on a balcony, roof or rear wall, with consent, and we check the options on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Air conditioning in Hammersmith: local notes
About 68% of homes in Hammersmith and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 79% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Older homes often have solid walls, which take longer to core drill, so we plan pipe routes carefully and keep them as discreet as we can. 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.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of the Holy Innocents, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install. Close to Kensington Olympia station? A small study or box room used for work can normally be cooled with a single indoor unit.

How it works
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before work begins so it doesn’t catch you out. For businesses, we can usually work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. If your building in Hammersmith has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We survey the property, or work from your pictures for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- 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
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a quote
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. To get one, phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.

Pricing air conditioning in Hammersmith
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of rooms, units or zones
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The condition of any existing system
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, with VAT shown clearly.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
What a customer said
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
