Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Colindale
Is Colindale in your area for commercial air conditioning?
We do: Colindale falls inside our working area. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Colindale?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs so the business keeps running. We set out the timing before work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we are an F-Gas certified company. NICEIC approval, MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership sit alongside it.
Does my building need a TM44 inspection?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. The rules are set out on GOV.UK, and we can help you prepare.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on all makes?
We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
Commercial air conditioning in Colindale, done properly
Many sites need more than cooling. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. If the problem is older systems that can’t keep up and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, we can sort it out.
London buildings in Colindale can have little space for outdoor plant, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
Aftercare is simple, and most of it is in the manual: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Colindale
Where the system is over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is due at least every 5 years. Acting on the findings can improve how the system runs and we can do the work they recommend. Booking in spring means a home or office in Colindale is ready before the first hot week.
A single unit or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You’ll have a fixed price before we start, and the quote sets out the VAT.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we’ve done. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Colindale.
- 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.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
Before you call an engineer
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.
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We can arrange it, prepare the system for it and fix what it finds.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
What commercial work looks like in Colindale
Food Standards Agency records list about 204 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 39 schools and colleges and about 46 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Colindale. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 50% of homes in Colindale and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 67% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
If you look after a church or hall such as St Matthias the Apostle church, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents. Schools such as Colindale Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty.

“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
