East Dulwich questions
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in East Dulwich?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually have a say. 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 air conditioning in East Dulwich permitted development?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. The Camberwell Grove Conservation Area is close to the centre of East Dulwich. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not 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 Southwark council, which is normally the planning authority for East Dulwich.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We’re members of Checkatrade too.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes, day and night. Call the emergency line and tell us the make, the symptoms and any error code, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, we plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs to keep disruption down. We set out the timing before work starts.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
Operators of systems from 5 tCO2e upwards need leak checks and records. Checks are at least every 12 months from 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 to under 500 tCO2e and we carry out the checks and keep the records.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
Commercial air conditioning in East Dulwich
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. If the problem is R410A systems getting dearer to top up and new tenancies needing cooling and heating, we can help.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, East Dulwich included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: a dated account of the work and the readings we took. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Looking after your system
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not wait for small faults to become breakdowns
- Avoid units heating and cooling the same space
- Don’t let servicing slip
Handover includes a walk-through of the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Good records make inspections and audits easier. For systems at or over 5 tCO2e, they’re required.
