About our commercial air conditioning in East Ham
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. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are older systems that can’t keep up and buildings that can’t close for the work.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, East Ham included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.
Whatever the visit, you get a written record: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many include a pump to move the water away, which we check on every service.
Server and comms rooms
Server room systems need regular servicing to stay reliable and we can cover it under a contract.

Why act early in East Ham

No two properties are the same, so each one gets its own fixed-price quote. The equipment, how we reach it, the route between units and the work needed all make a difference.

Cooling for East Ham businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 293 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 60 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of East Ham. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. VOA council tax data put about 55% of homes in and around East Ham before 1919, and about 45% of households live in terraced houses, according to the last census (2021). In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. London commercial jobs usually involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
Schools such as St Michael's Catholic Primary School normally have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. Before any plant goes outside a building like St Bartholomew's Church, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it.

Common questions in East Ham
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in East Ham?
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.
Is East Ham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. East Ham is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we’ll take it from there.
How long will it take to install air conditioning in our building?
Expect it to take a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The scale and programme decide most of it, and we set out the timing with your quote.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we do not inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule with a fixed price. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
Can you work around our opening hours?
Yes. We fit the installation around when the building is in use and phase it where needed.

The process
Each visit follows the same order: agree the plan on site, put the dust sheets down, do the work, check the system and talk you through it. The visit itself takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Let us know who controls access to the building in East Ham, as that saves time on the day.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
Getting a price
