Why deal with it now?
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Designing in a backup unit or reviewing the existing set-up is worth doing before anything goes wrong. Planning ahead in Finsbury means you choose the date, not the weather.
Putting several jobs into one visit can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.

Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Finsbury
Where equipment generates heat around the clock, the cooling has to keep pace. We look at the heat load and how the room is used, and can discuss backup units, so a single fault does not leave the room without cooling. If the problem is R410A systems getting dearer to top up and missing F-gas records for commercial systems, we can sort it out.
Commercial systems in Finsbury are often in shared buildings: offices above shops, restaurants below flats. So landlord consent, plant positions and noise all need agreeing first, and the work is usually planned around trading hours.
Warranty periods vary by brand and by product. For instance, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and its longer extensions apply to its air-to-water units only. For any other brand, we explain the manufacturer’s terms on your quote.

How the visit works
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 we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. In a London area like Finsbury, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board

Business air conditioning in Finsbury
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3,282 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 144 hotels and guest houses and about 71 schools and colleges in and around Finsbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 36% of homes in Finsbury and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 97% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. London commercial jobs usually involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
If your office near Old Street station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

Common questions in Finsbury
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Finsbury?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Finsbury sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that are not used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the local planning authority (for Finsbury, typically the City of London Corporation).
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Finsbury?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
What are the F-gas responsibilities for commercial air conditioning?
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.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works, and we can help you prepare.
Do you carry out TM44 inspections?
We don’t carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. What we do is prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report suggests.
Do you offer commercial maintenance contracts?
Yes, and we tailor the schedule to the system and how hard it works. There’s also a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
