Commercial air conditioning in Aldwych, done properly
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We handle the checks and records and remind you when the next is due. We’re often asked to deal with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, across ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
In Aldwych, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Aldwych
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Aldwych?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Aldwych?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Aldwych is in the Strand Conservation Area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the planning department at Westminster council, usually the authority for Aldwych when it matters.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Do you cover Aldwych?
Yes. We work in Aldwych and the rest of Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, phone us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
When will I hear back?
The same working day. After that, we agree a survey, diagnosis or installation date that suits you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Pricing commercial air conditioning in Aldwych
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the existing supply is suitable
- What we find on the survey or diagnosis
- The number of rooms, units or zones
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
- Wide photos of the room or the existing unit
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a quote is straightforward. Send a few details and photos, and we reply the same working day. If we need to see the property first, we book a survey at a time that works for you.
How the visit works
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. When we arrive, we check the job against the survey or the pictures you sent. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Let us know who controls access to the building in Aldwych, as that saves time on the day.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
Getting a price
To get a fixed-price quote, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. A few photos make it quicker. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls

Let and managed properties
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is and we are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Commercial air conditioning in Aldwych: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4,606 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 234 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 95 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Aldwych. Many of those sites need air conditioning that is sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. About 48% of homes in Aldwych and the neighbourhoods around it were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the 2021 Census found about 96% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
For a church or hall like St Mary le Strand, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. Offices near London Charing Cross station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.
