Commercial air conditioning in Canary Wharf, done properly
Commercial air conditioning comes with F-gas duties for the operator. 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. Typical jobs include F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, on ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Canary Wharf included, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

What the work involves, system by system
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.
Hotels and schools
Hotel bedrooms need individual control and quiet running, and work has to fit around guests. Phased installation keeps rooms available.
Commercial air conditioning around Canary Wharf
Food Standards Agency records list about 453 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 56 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Canary Wharf. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 66% of homes across Canary Wharf and its surrounding area have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 93% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. London commercial jobs normally involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
If your office near Canary Wharf station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Canary Wharf
Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. The recommendations often point to simple improvements and we can do the work they recommend. In London, hot spells can bring a rush of calls, so planning the work in Canary Wharf before summer avoids the wait.
One room or a whole building, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. The price is fixed before work begins, and the quote sets out the VAT.
Why book with us
- MCS certified heat pump installers
- Every job looked at before it’s priced
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Canary Wharf in advance.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
Getting a price
Every quote starts with a look at the job, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your photos and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.

FAQs for Canary Wharf
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Canary Wharf?
We do: Canary Wharf falls inside our working area. To start, ring 07833 053749 or send an email with a few photos.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Canary Wharf?
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 you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, 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.
Are you F-Gas certified?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re also Checkatrade members.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
For systems at or above 5 tCO2e, the operator must have leak checks carried out and keep records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e, and we can handle both.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Everything from wall-mounted units for single rooms to VRF or VRV systems serving whole buildings. Cassettes and ducted units are common choices for open-plan and visible spaces.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. The visits and price are fixed with your quote.
What we are called out for in Canary Wharf
When a space is refitted or its use changes, the old layout may no longer work. New partitions, more staff or different equipment change the heat load, and the system has to match.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- Commercial systems near the end of their life
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around Poplar Hospital (about 0.7 miles north-east) normally want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Whether anyone has checked the property or the system first
- What paperwork you will receive afterwards
