Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Chalk Farm
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Chalk Farm and the rest of Greater London. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. If you are dealing with ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and workspaces that overheat on warm days, we can help.
In a London area like Chalk Farm, commercial air conditioning goes into offices, shops, restaurants and server rooms, often in shared buildings. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and the work is normally planned around trading hours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for example, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

After we’ve gone
To keep the system working properly:
- Call about warning signs right away
- Don’t let servicing slip
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
Make a note of when a TM44 inspection will be due if the system is over 12 kW. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.

Commercial air conditioning in Chalk Farm: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 797 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 38 hotels and guest houses and about 69 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chalk Farm. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. About 41% of homes in the Chalk Farm area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and Census 2021 figures found about 84% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. London commercial jobs typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Silas Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. If you look after a school such as Haverstock School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

Chalk Farm: your questions answered
Is Chalk Farm in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Chalk Farm is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Is air conditioning in Chalk Farm permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Chalk Farm is a short walk from the Regent's Canal 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 needed, we check with the planning department at Camden council, typically the authority for Chalk Farm.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Our engineers also hold the individual F-gas qualifications needed to work on refrigerant.
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, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule, with records kept for each visit.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from leading brands. We explain the options after a site survey.
