Commercial air conditioning in Charlton
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. If the problem is work raised by a TM44 inspection and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, we can sort it out.
Commercial systems in Charlton are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and installs are often done out of hours.
Each manufacturer sets its own warranty period. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning, with longer extensions only on its air-to-water heat pumps. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

Looking after your system
Every system needs looking after, and most of it is easy. A few tips:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Involve us at the planning stage of a refurbishment
If the system needs F-gas leak checks, we diary the first one and we can cover it under a contract.
Train staff to use the controls sensibly. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem, and we can help set them up.
Commercial air conditioning around Charlton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 149 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 41 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Charlton. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. The last census (2021) found about 53% 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 normally involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
Around Charlton station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs. Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around British Hospital for Mothers and Babies (about 0.5 miles east) normally want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.

Common questions in Charlton
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Charlton?
Yes, Charlton is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Charlton need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The centre of Charlton is in a conservation area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact Greenwich council, which is usually the planning authority for Charlton.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
The law says any company working on equipment containing F gas has to be certified, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
Responsibility is shared between the operator and the certified technicians who work on the system. The operator must make sure leak checks are done where required and records are kept, and we provide both.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Charlton
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed-price quote.
