How we handle air conditioning in Lee
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see, and we explain the options on the survey. People searching for “air con near me” in Lee want two things: a sensible price and someone qualified. Our typical prices are on the site, and every install is done by F-Gas qualified engineers.
Across London, and in Lee too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached 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, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Air conditioning in Lee: local notes
VOA council tax data put about 49% of homes across Lee and its surrounding area before 1919, and Census 2021 figures found about 57% of households live in flats. 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. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
About 1.7 miles east stands Eltham Palace. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one. Plenty of people near Lee station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.
Lee is about 2 miles south of Greenwich, in Greater London. Lee gets the same approach as every job we take on: diagnosis first, a fixed price and proper paperwork when we’ve finished. Our list for Greater London has 764 entries, and Lee is one.

Questions from Lee
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Lee?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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 Lee?
Yes, Lee is within the area we cover. Just call us on 07833 053749 or email us with a few details.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Each brand sets its own conditions and periods, so we explain them on your quote.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
Anyone installing, repairing or servicing the refrigerant side must be qualified, and their company certified. It’s worth checking before booking, and we are happy to show ours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Does air conditioning need its own electrical supply?
Usually, yes. 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.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
How we price air conditioning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- The condition of any existing system
- How easy the units are to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Wide pictures of the room or the existing unit
- The outdoor side of the property, including any roof or flat area
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
Getting a quote is straightforward. Call or email with a few details and we’ll come back to you the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
The process
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access. Let us know who controls access to the building in Lee, as that saves time on the day.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the rooms, outside space and fuse board.
- Next, a recommendation for each room and a fixed price.
- The treatment: units fitted, pipework and drain routed, and the electrics installed.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
How to get a quote
For a fixed-price quote, call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.
Advice
Towns and villages near Lee
Also in Lee
System by system
Electrical supply
Most systems need their own circuit from the consumer unit. As NICEIC approved contractors, we install it and issue the certificate and that covers the Part P side.
Offices, shops and commercial rooms
Systems over 12 kW of effective rated output bring extra duties for the building, such as a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We can arrange the inspection and get the system ready for it.
What owners can safely do
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Owner care supports servicing; it doesn’t replace it. Simple care keeps the air moving through the system, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
What a customer said
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
