About our commercial air conditioning in Camberwell
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. 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. The work covers ceiling cassettes, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about R410A systems getting dearer to top up and workspaces that overheat on warm days.
For a business in Camberwell, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We will tell you how the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. They come out, get a gentle clean and go back only when they’re dry. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Camberwell.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Clear a path to the units and the space around them
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Tell us about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, a few photos, the make and model of any existing system and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
Not sure which it is? You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Cooling for Camberwell businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 583 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 13 hotels and guest houses and about 105 schools and colleges in and around Camberwell, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. The 2021 Census found about 82% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around St Giles' Hospital (about less than half a mile east) usually want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Common problems we fix in Camberwell
Older systems running on R410A face rising costs for top-ups as the GB HFC phase-down tightens supply. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing F-gas records for commercial systems
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- R410A systems getting dearer to top up
For premises near Denmark Hill station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown, and which rate applies
- Whether extra work needs your approval first
- Whether you get F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Camberwell
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Camberwell?
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.
Is air conditioning in Camberwell permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Camberwell is a short walk from the Camberwell Green Conservation Area. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Camberwell, usually Southwark council).
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from the major manufacturers. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s, and the terms are theirs. Some terms depend on regular servicing by a qualified engineer so it’s worth keeping the service records.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. We always look before we price, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK and we will help with the system side.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed with automatic leak detection at 500 tCO2e and above.
