Air conditioning installation in Stratford
Most modern split systems run as heat pumps, so they can heat as well as cool. The Energy Saving Trust recognises that air-to-air heat pumps often go by the name air conditioning, and a well-chosen system can earn its keep all year round. Air con, air conditioning, a split system: whatever you call it, in Stratford it means the same thing to us: the right unit in the right place, fitted and commissioned properly.
Sizing is where cheap installs go wrong: the survey covers room size, glazing, insulation and how the room is used, so the unit isn’t too big or too small.
Space outside is often tight in Stratford, as in much of London, which means a rear wall bracket, a flat roof or a balcony is often the best spot for the outdoor unit. Neighbours’ windows and noise matter as much as appearance when we choose the position, and we plan the pipe route so it’s as short and tidy as the building allows.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

Common questions in Stratford
Can you do air conditioning in Stratford?
Yes. Stratford is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Stratford?
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.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. For simple jobs, pictures and a few details can be enough, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Where will you put the outdoor unit?
It can go on a wall bracket, at ground level or on a flat roof, wherever the pipe route, airflow and servicing access work best. We also think about noise near bedrooms and neighbours and position can affect planning.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Maintenance contracts are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
How do I know what size unit to get?
Sizing is done on the survey, room by room. Too small, and it runs flat out; too big, and it switches on and off and wastes energy, so we explain why we have chosen a particular output.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A ventilation problem rather than a temperature problem
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- 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.

What we are called out for in Stratford
Some people come to us for heating rather than cooling. Direct electric heaters convert electricity into heat one for one, while an air-to-air heat pump moves heat from outside, so it gives out more heat than the electricity it uses. That is how most modern split systems work.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- A room that is unbearable on warm days
- Too many options and no clear advice
- Working from home in a room that gets too warm
Plenty of people near Stratford (London) station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work and nothing is moved without asking you. Then the electrics are made safe and the work begins. It takes a day or more, depending on the number of rooms, the pipe routes and the access, and we tidy up before we leave. If your building in Stratford has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Each room is sized and the unit positions agreed, then you get a fixed-price quote.
- On the day, dust sheets go down and the indoor and outdoor units are fitted.
- Pipework, cable and drain are run, the circuit is connected and the pipework is pressure tested and evacuated.
- The system is commissioned, the controls explained and the F-Gas records handed over.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it on the quote. For a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749.

What an install looks like in Stratford
VOA council tax data show about 55% of homes across Stratford and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 73% of households live in flats. Newer homes are often easier to fit, with cavity walls and space in the loft for pipework. In flats, the lease and the freeholder typically 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.
Living close to Church of St John the Evangelist? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.

Not far away are Hollow Pond and Old Ford Island.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Refit filters properly after cleaning
- File the paperwork with the manual
- Leave space around the outdoor unit
Commissioning is the last stage: every mode is tested before we go. We check it’s running as the manufacturer intends, then show you the controls and the timer, so you’re confident using it.
Don’t ignore small changes. A drip, a noise or a flashing light is often an early sign of a fault and catching it early keeps the repair small.
A customer’s words
“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.”
