Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Eltham
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. The design accounts for the equipment’s heat and can include a second unit as backup so one failure does not take everything down. If the problem is older systems that can’t keep up and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, we can help.
Commercial systems in Eltham are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. That means planning noise, outdoor unit positions and access with the landlord or managing agent, and the work is typically planned around trading hours.
The records are your 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.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Eltham
Is Eltham in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Eltham is part of that. Just give us a ring on 07833 053749 with a few details.
Is air conditioning in Eltham permitted development?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Eltham sits inside a 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 Greenwich council, usually the authority for Eltham.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Eltham and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Which brands do you work with?
We work with the leading brands, from Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin and Fujitsu to Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.
What’s the price of air conditioning for a business?
A survey comes first, then a fixed-price quote. Factors include the number of areas, the system type, access and any out-of-hours or phased work.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Before you call an engineer
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. Under the F-gas rules, engineers need their own qualifications and the company must be certified, and escaping refrigerant can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Good habits make our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you cannot see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Call about warning signs straight away
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
- Keep outdoor units clear of rubbish and stored goods
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. Systems fighting each other, or set to extremes, waste effort and correct settings avoid it.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Eltham before visiting.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Cooling for Eltham businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 107 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 34 schools and colleges and about 33 care, childcare and hospital premises within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Eltham. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 40% of homes in the Eltham area date from 1945 to 1972, according to VOA council tax data, and about 51% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. London commercial jobs typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
If you look after a school such as St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is normally installed in the holidays. For premises near Mottingham station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one.

What’s near Eltham

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.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, zone or building to keep disruption down.
From one of our customers
“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
