Commercial air conditioning in Bermondsey, done properly

We design, install and look after air conditioning for businesses in Bermondsey and across Greater London. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. If the problem is planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, we can help.

In Bermondsey, 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 F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.

Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

For landlords and property managers

Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit produces a dated record, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, ready for a tenant, a buyer or an inspection.

Running several properties is easier with one contractor. Our area covers Greater London and the South East, so a run of properties can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bermondsey

Small faults in a commercial system can spread to the whole building’s comfort. Regular servicing finds problems early and keeps the building comfortable. Approvals for flats in Bermondsey can take longer than the install itself.

Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What commercial work looks like in Bermondsey

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 1,195 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 48 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 108 schools and colleges in and around Bermondsey, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 33% of homes in and around Bermondsey were built in 2000 or later, and about 89% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. London commercial jobs typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.

Churches and halls such as St Mary Magdalen Bermondsey are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place. Around London Bridge station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs.

Bermondsey is about 1 mile east of London, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the SE1 postcode area, our engineers can take on commercial air conditioning. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Bermondsey is one of them.

What happens on the day

Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. If your building in Bermondsey has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.

  1. We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
  2. You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
  3. We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
  4. The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
  5. Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
  • Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
  • Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Advice

Bermondsey: your questions answered

Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Bermondsey?

The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Bermondsey is a short walk from the Bermondsey Street Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Southwark council, typically the authority for Bermondsey.

Do you cover Bermondsey for commercial air conditioning?

We do: Bermondsey falls inside our working area. To start, ring us on 07833 053749 with a few pictures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.

What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?

It depends on the system’s tCO2e. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.

Can you set up regular servicing?

Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule and quote for it. Leak checks required by the F-gas rules can be built in for larger systems.

Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?

Yes. We start with a proper look and tell you honestly what we find, including anything about the original installation that needs putting right. You get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That is the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:

  • Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
  • Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
  • Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage

If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we’ll say what we think.

What a customer said

“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.”
