Managing agents and facilities teams in Coldharbour
We work for landlords, letting agents and managing agents as well as homeowners and businesses. Tell us who the contact on site is and who should receive the paperwork and we’ll copy in whoever needs it.
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 are happy to deal with whoever it is.
Commercial air conditioning in Coldharbour
Buildings whose air conditioning totals more than 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out; we are not assessors, but we prepare systems for inspection and act on what the report finds. Common call-outs are for ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down and comms rooms without enough cooling, across multi-split systems, server and comms room cooling and wall-mounted split systems.
In Coldharbour, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. Whatever the brand, the manufacturer’s terms are explained on your quote.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- How easy the units are to reach
- What kind of system it is
No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The system, the access, the pipe routes and the parts involved all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed
- The outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits or would go
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

What else we do in Coldharbour
Coldharbour questions
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Coldharbour?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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 planning permission needed for air conditioning in Coldharbour?
It depends on the property. The Coldharbour Conservation Area takes in the middle of Coldharbour. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and isn’t used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Coldharbour, normally Tower Hamlets council).
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. We work on systems fitted by other installers as well as our own, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
When will I hear back?
On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The building, the heat load, the system type and the programme all affect the cost and the quote is fixed before we begin.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
The process
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before any work starts, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can normally work room by room or zone by zone. On site, it takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Coldharbour.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- We send a fixed-price quote showing the system, the unit positions and how the work will be phased.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
Getting a price
To help us quote: where the property is and what kind of building it is, pictures of the rooms or units, the make and model of any existing system and any symptoms, from error codes to drips. Once you have those, call 07833 053749 or use the quote form.

Safe owner checks
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. 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. A suspected leak is our job, not yours.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the inside of the units, the refrigerant and the electrics still need a qualified engineer.
A customer’s words
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
