Air conditioning in South Bermondsey
Good air conditioning starts with the right system in the right place. We look at each room’s size, glazing, orientation and use, and we agree the unit positions and the route for the pipes, cable and drain before you get a fixed-price quote. A lot of the calls we get from South Bermondsey are about one room that’s too hot to sleep or work in. That is normally a single wall-mounted split, from £1,200 + VAT.
The outdoor unit position is the biggest single decision: airflow, noise towards neighbours, pipe length and access for servicing all count.
London homes in South Bermondsey 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. We look at noise towards neighbours and windows as well as looks, and we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: the work carried out, the refrigerant involved and the quantities. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What affects the cost of air conditioning
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
Every job is different, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.
How it works
Our engineers arrive at the time agreed with you and check the plan with you first. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and anything electrical is made safe before work starts. The work itself takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in South Bermondsey.
- We start by looking at the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
- Cooling loads are worked out room by room, and the written price names the make, the model and every position.
- The units go up and the pipework, cable and condensate drain are run neatly between them.
- Once the electrics are connected, the pipework is tested for leaks and put under vacuum before any refrigerant flows.
- The system is commissioned and checked in every mode, and we hand over the controls, F-Gas records and warranty information.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time

Published ranges are a starting point; the quote is built on your property, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. After a look at the job, by pictures or a survey, the price is fixed. To start, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or send an email.

What the work involves, system by system
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs a void above the ceiling for the unit, pipework and drain, and many use a built-in condensate pump to lift the water away. We check the ceiling void on the survey.
Ducted systems
Ducted units can feed several rooms through a network of ducts, and they’re easiest to fit while ceilings are open, such as during a refurbishment.
What we’re called out for in South Bermondsey
Bedrooms that are too warm at night are a frequent reason for a call. An open window does not always cool a bedroom that has warmed up all day, particularly when there’s no breeze.
It’s time to call us if you’re dealing with:
- Expensive direct electric heating
- Bedrooms and offices that overheat in summer
- A loft room or top floor that bakes in summer
Homes near Church of St Augustine are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

Your questions about air conditioning in South Bermondsey
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in South Bermondsey?
Usually, 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.
Can I fit air conditioning in South Bermondsey without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. The half-mile around the middle of South Bermondsey holds about 18 listed buildings and structures. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for South Bermondsey, normally Southwark council).
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
That depends on the brand. Where servicing is a condition, a missed service could give the manufacturer grounds to refuse a claim, so we explain the terms on your quote.
Where does the outdoor unit go?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and a position facing a road can bring extra planning considerations. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Is air conditioning possible 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 South Bermondsey: local notes
The 2021 Census found about 78% of households live in flats. In flats, the lease and the freeholder usually 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.
