Questions from Canonbury
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Canonbury?
Typically, 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.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Canonbury?
We do: Canonbury falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Are you TM44 assessors?
An accredited energy assessor has to carry out the inspection, and we’re not assessors. We prepare systems for inspection and carry out the work the report recommends.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. When you call, tell us the make, what’s happening and any error code, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Canonbury and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works and we’ll help with the system side.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
Commercial air conditioning in Canonbury, done properly
There’s no single best commercial system. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. If you’re dealing with fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and leak check schedules that have slipped, we can help.
For a business in Canonbury, 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 F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you and run through the plan before anything else. Dust sheets go down over floors and anything close to the work, and the electrics are made safe before any panel comes off. On site, it takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. Managed buildings in London often need contractors booked in, and we can deal with the agent for a job in Canonbury.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Make sure we can reach the outdoor unit, or where it will go
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
Advice
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keeping the outdoor unit clear, checking the mode and set temperature, and the routine cleaning in the manual. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Never try to top up, release or handle refrigerant yourself. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.

When to call us in Canonbury
The GB phase-down is reducing HFC supply, so refrigerants like R410A are getting scarcer and dearer for top-ups. Repairs on existing R410A systems remain legal, but it’s a factor when planning a replacement.
Any of these is worth a proper look:
- New tenancies needing cooling and heating
- F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue
- Ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down
Schools such as Rotherfield Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.
What to look for in a quote
- Which brand and model they’re proposing, and why
- Exactly what the price includes, from supply and fitting to commissioning
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Fire safety design or fire risk assessments
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
If in doubt, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will say what we think before booking.

Commercial air conditioning around Canonbury
There are about 1,209 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 18 hotels and guest houses and about 44 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Canonbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. About 36% of homes across Canonbury and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 84% 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. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
For premises near Canonbury station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.
