Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Heron Quays
A new system normally needs a dedicated circuit from the fuse board. Under Part P, a new circuit is notifiable unless a registered competent person does it, and our NICEIC approval means we install and certify it ourselves. A lot of the calls we get from Heron Quays are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. A single-room split system is often the answer, from £1,200 + VAT.
Planning permission is not typically needed for a house if the unit qualifies as permitted development, but listed buildings, conservation areas and flats often need consent first: we flag that at the survey.
London homes in Heron Quays 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. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, 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: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler, so keep it safe.

The process
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Heron Quays has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- First comes a site survey, or photos and measurements for a straightforward job.
- Each room is sized and you get a fixed-price quote setting out the equipment and the unit positions.
- Brackets go on, the units are hung and the refrigerant lines, cable and drain are routed between them.
- The electrical supply is connected, and the refrigerant circuit is pressure tested and evacuated.
- We commission the system, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty details.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Air conditioning around Heron Quays
About 68% of homes across Heron Quays and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 93% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. In flats, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
Older streets near St Peter's Church may fall within a conservation area, so we check the planning position before choosing where the outdoor unit goes.

Signs you need air conditioning in Heron Quays
Commercial spaces gain heat from people, equipment, lighting and glazing. Keeping staff and customers comfortable is normally what prompts the call, and some rooms need cooling for the equipment as much as the people.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Uncertainty over the right type and size of system
- An ageing air conditioning system near the end of its life
- An office, shop or restaurant that is uncomfortable for staff and customers
Plenty of people near Canary Wharf station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
What your quote should include
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether a new circuit is included and who certifies it
- What records you get at the end
Rented and managed buildings
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Every visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.
Your questions about air conditioning in Heron Quays
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Heron Quays?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Can you do air conditioning in Heron Quays?
We do: Heron Quays falls inside our working area. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few pictures.
Can air conditioning heat my home as well?
Most of the time, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. If you want it to replace your main heating, ask about air-to-air heat pumps and the conditions for the Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we’ll gladly show you ours.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
