What affects the cost of commercial air conditioning
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition of any existing system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
The cost depends on the type of system and how many units are involved, how easy the units are to reach and the parts and time the job needs. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- The address and the type of property
- Your installation or service records
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either on a site survey or, for simple jobs, from your pictures and details. After that, we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we begin.
About our commercial air conditioning in East End of London
Air conditioning systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW must have a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. The inspection is carried out by an accredited energy assessor. We do not carry out the inspection itself, but we prepare the system and do the work it recommends. If you are dealing with R410A systems getting dearer to top up and staff complaining about the temperature, we can help.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, East End of London included, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.
We’re an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, MCS certified for heat pumps and a Checkatrade member. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

What else we do in East End of London
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
For systems over 12 kW, keep track of the 5-yearly TM44 inspection. When it comes round, we can get the system ready and carry out the recommendations.
Simple control settings help. Units heating and cooling the same space at once is a common problem and correct settings avoid it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different answer:
- Issuing TM44 reports
- Major builder’s work such as new openings in structural walls
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
Not sure which it is? You can ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How the visit works
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first, so you can plan around it. For businesses, we can typically work room by room or zone by zone. The work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. The more we can see beforehand, the smoother the visit to East End of London will be.
- We visit the site to look at the building, how it’s used and what the system needs to do.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- Dates are set with you so trading, teaching or treatment carries on, using evenings, weekends or phases where it helps.
- We fit the units, run and test the pipework, connect the condensate and wire in the controls.
- Finally it’s commissioned and handed over, with the refrigerant records and manuals for your files.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Common questions in East End of London
Do you cover East End of London for commercial air conditioning?
We do: East End of London falls inside our working area. To start, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier with a few photos.
Will air conditioning in East End of London need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central East End of London is a short walk from the Commercial Road 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 the planning department at Tower Hamlets council, normally the authority for East End of London.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How long does a commercial installation take?
The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. We confirm the timing after the survey, and you can phone us on 07833 053749 or send an email to book it.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, while repairs and services get a written note of what was found and done.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
Anything that involves the refrigerant needs an F-Gas qualified engineer from a certified company. That’s a legal requirement, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We can quote for the whole job, from supply to commissioning.
Business air conditioning in East End of London
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,304 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 42 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 94 schools and colleges in and around East End of London, up to about a mile and a half out. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. About 36% of homes in East End of London and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 88% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). 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.
For a church or hall like Church of St Mary, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. If you look after a school such as St Mary and St Michael Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is usually installed in the holidays.
