Air conditioning for homes and businesses in Smithfield
A single-room split system is 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. Supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation are all included, with commercial and VRF systems priced after a survey. For air conditioning in Smithfield, you get one team and one number from survey to sign-off, wherever you are in Greater London.
Most installations here are a wall-mounted indoor unit, a short pipe run through the wall and an outdoor unit on the back or side of the property, with the condensate drained away safely.
Across London, and in Smithfield too, a lot of air conditioning goes into flats and terraces rather than detached houses. That shapes the job: where the outdoor unit can go, how the pipework reaches it and who needs to agree first. A freeholder or managing agent often has a say in a flat, so we write up the proposed positions for them to see.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

Questions from Smithfield
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Smithfield?
Typically, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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 you cover Smithfield for air conditioning?
Yes, Smithfield is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Smithfield and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Can I use air conditioning to heat a room?
Usually, yes. A heat pump moves heat from the outside air into the room, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. To replace your main heating, there are extra conditions, including for the £2,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant for air-to-air heat pumps.
Will you make a mess?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before any work starts, and we tidy up as we go. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
Can you fit air conditioning in a leasehold flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You will typically need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route, so check the lease. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
Warranty is the manufacturer’s own, on its terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Air conditioning in Smithfield: the local picture
About 32% of homes across Smithfield and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 97% of households live in flats. Newer homes usually have cavity walls and loft space that make pipe runs easier, though some estates have planning conditions or covenants worth checking. In flats, the lease and the freeholder normally decide where an outdoor unit can go, and the permitted development rules for flats are tighter. In London, outdoor unit positions, building rules and access tend to need more planning than the install itself.
Around St Bartholomew-the-Less, a quick check of the listing and conservation maps is part of planning any install. About 0.3 miles south-west stands Dr Johnson's House. Listed homes in any area need consent first, so tell us if yours is one.

Safe owner checks
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo or a short video of the display is even better.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Ducted systems
- Air-to-air heat pumps
- VRF systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Multi-split systems
- Wall-mounted split systems
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems. In a London area like Smithfield, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- You send photos, or we visit and survey the rooms and outside.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- We protect the area, then fit both halves of the system.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- It’s switched on, checked and handed over with its records.
Preparing for the visit
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
How to get a quote

How the job changes from property to property
Multi-split systems
With a multi-split, one outdoor unit serves two or more rooms. It saves wall space outside and suits homes where several rooms need cooling, with each room controlled separately.
Outdoor unit positions
Where outside space is tight, the outdoor unit position shapes the whole design. Every option is checked on the survey, and tell you about any permissions you may need.
From one of our customers
“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.”
