In a London area like St Paul's Cray, many of the homes we’re asked about are flats, maisonettes and terraced 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, and we can give you the details they’ll ask for.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. It makes the next visit quicker and any warranty question simpler and it’s worth keeping safe.

What we do, step by step
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in St Paul's Cray.

Advice
Air conditioning around St Paul's Cray
Valuation Office Agency council tax records date about 54% of homes in and around St Paul's Cray to the post-war years, 1945 to 1972. Homes of that age usually have cavity or solid brick walls, and we check which before planning the pipe route. For a London home, we plan the outdoor unit position, the pipe route and any approvals before the day.
If you work from home near St Mary Cray station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool. Homes near St Barnabas are a good example of where we look up the heritage status of the building before fixing anything to it.

What air conditioning will not do
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Gas boiler or central heating faults (we don’t work on gas boilers)

- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
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.

Questions from St Paul's Cray
Can you do air conditioning in St Paul's Cray?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and St Paul's Cray is part of that. To start, call 07833 053749 or email us with a few photos.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in St Paul's Cray?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Historic England lists about 6 buildings and structures within half a mile of the centre of St Paul's Cray. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 Bromley council, which is usually the planning authority for St Paul's Cray.
How does the warranty work?
The manufacturer’s warranty, on the manufacturer’s terms. Terms differ by brand, and we set them out on your quote.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Will you need to do electrical work?
Normally, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote, and our NICEIC approval covers the installation and certificate.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, on a survey, or from your pictures and details where the job is simple. Then you get a fixed-price quote.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Every visit is recorded, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Anything inside the units, the electrics and the refrigerant is engineer’s work.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Our prices page gives typical ranges, and your quote is built on your job. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- Whether we need access equipment for high-level work
- What state the existing equipment is in
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, with VAT shown clearly.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.
