About our commercial air conditioning in Brockley
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. We are often asked to deal with older systems that can’t keep up and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer, across ceiling cassettes, VRF systems and wall-mounted split systems.
London buildings in Brockley can have little space for outdoor plant, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

System by system
Server and comms rooms
Server rooms generate heat all day and night and the cooling must keep up all year. The design is based on the equipment’s heat output.
F-gas records and TM44
For systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, the operator is responsible for leak checks and records. We carry out the checks and provide the records.
Questions from Brockley
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Brockley?
Typically, 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 you do commercial air conditioning in Brockley?
We do: Brockley falls inside our working area. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Holes and fixings are agreed with you, and we clean up afterwards when we finish.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Brockley and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like water coming from a unit or a critical room overheating, call our 24/7 line and we will tell you what to do first.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and manufacturers expect it for their warranty too. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

What happens on the day
We book the visit for a day and time that suit you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your pictures or the details you gave us. If something is different, we talk it through with you before carrying on. After that, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. A few pictures of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Brockley.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Ask for a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Looking after your system
To keep the system working properly:
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Report noises, leaks and faults early
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you, so you know what’s needed.
Simple control settings help. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.
What commercial work looks like in Brockley
There are about 316 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 7 hotels and guest houses and about 52 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brockley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. VOA council tax data put about 57% of homes in Brockley and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 50% 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.
A bursar or site manager at a school like Beecroft Garden Primary will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. If you run a surgery, clinic or pharmacy in the area around University Hospital Lewisham, about 0.7 miles east, cleanable, quiet units and regular maintenance matter.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brockley
Bigger systems bring extra duties: 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.
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
