Air Conditioning in North Greenwich
Air conditioning in and around North Greenwich, from the first look to the final check with the price fixed before work begins.
- Fans and portables that do not keep up
- A system on old refrigerant that is due for replacement
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
What we do, step by step
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to North Greenwich in advance.
- You send pictures, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- The system is sized, positions are agreed and the price is fixed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, a few pictures, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Then phone us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
Air conditioning for homes and businesses in North Greenwich
Single-room systems are typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT, two rooms on a multi-split £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. Those ranges include supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and commercial VRF systems are priced after a survey. For air conditioning in North Greenwich, one call covers the survey, the fixed-price quote, the installation and the F-Gas paperwork.
Across London, and in North Greenwich 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, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

North Greenwich: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in North Greenwich need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central North Greenwich sits inside the Chapel House Conservation Area. 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 isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Tower Hamlets council, which is typically the planning authority for North Greenwich.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in North Greenwich?
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.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and we are NICEIC approved, so we can install and certify it.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
How much is air conditioning for one room?
Single-room systems start from £1,200 + VAT and are typically up to £2,200 + VAT. The price includes supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation, and we fix it after a survey or from your photos.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Air conditioning in North Greenwich: local notes
About 52% of homes in North Greenwich and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 87% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. In flats, the lease and the freeholder usually decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. London installs often hinge on outside space, the lease and access to the building.
If your home is in one of the older streets near Church of St Nicholas, it’s worth checking whether it’s listed or in a conservation area before an install.

When to call us in North Greenwich
Rooms overheat mostly because of heat they gain during the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and once the room has warmed up, it holds on to it into the evening.
The things we are asked about most are:
- Fans and portables that don’t keep up
- Rooms that get too hot to sleep or work in
- Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
Queen's House, about 0.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses nearby, and if your own home is listed, consent comes before any air conditioning is fixed to it.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A room that cannot take an outdoor unit or pipe route without the landlord’s, management company’s or council’s consent (that consent comes first)
- A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
- Stuffy rooms that need fresh air rather than cooling
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ducted systems
After we have gone
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Never run the system with the filters out
- Avoid setting it far colder than you need
- Keep to the service interval the manufacturer recommends
You get the paperwork that matters: the commissioning details, the F-Gas records and the manufacturer’s warranty information. File them together as they’re needed for servicing and any warranty question.
Keep the outdoor unit clear. Anything piled against it, from leaves to garden furniture, reduces the airflow, which makes the whole system less efficient.
From one of our customers
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
