Commercial air conditioning for East Wickham

Commercial air conditioning in East Wickham, done properly

Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases so disruption is kept down. The timing is set out with your quote. We are often asked to deal with fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation, on server and comms room cooling, ceiling cassettes and multi-split systems.

In a London area like East Wickham, commercial air conditioning goes into offices, shops, restaurants and server rooms, often in shared buildings. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and installs are often done out of hours.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: 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. File it with the manual, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in East Wickham?

Schools and public buildings often need work done in the holidays. Installation can be programmed for the holidays so lessons aren’t disrupted.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • IT rooms that need resilient cooling
  • R410A systems getting dearer to top up
  • Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection

If you look after a church or hall such as St Mary the Virgin, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in East Wickham

Can I have air conditioning in a flat in East Wickham?

Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.

Can I fit air conditioning in East Wickham without planning permission?

That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Around 0 listed entries sit within 0.5 miles of central East Wickham. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Greenwich council, typically the authority for East Wickham.

What kind of air conditioning can you install in a business?

Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. We recommend the type that suits your space.

Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?

Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.

Will you work on another installer’s system?

Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.

Can I do any of the installation myself?

The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We are happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.

When is a TM44 inspection required?

Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor and we can help before and after.

What happens on the day

The work area is kept tidy throughout, with sheets down and mess cleared as we go. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. On site, it takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. In a London area like East Wickham, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.

  1. You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
  2. We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
  3. We set out the options, the price and the programme.
  4. We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
  5. We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions near the property
  • Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
  • Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go

Let and managed properties

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.

Facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.

A customer’s words

“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
