Golders Green: your questions answered
Is Golders Green in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Golders Green is part of that. To start, phone 07833 053749 or use the quote form with a few photos.
Will air conditioning in Golders Green need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Golders Green is a short walk from the Golders Green Town Centre Conservation Area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with Barnet council, which is normally the planning authority for Golders Green.
Can I do any of the installation myself?
Not the refrigerant work. Under the F-gas rules, it must be done by qualified engineers from a certified company, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Can you install out of hours?
Yes, timing is agreed to suit you. Shops, offices, restaurants and schools all have different needs, and we plan for them.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. It’s your proof of what was done: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of the warranty, so check the terms or ask us. Keep every service record either way.
What types of commercial air conditioning do you install?
Wall-mounted, cassette, ducted, multi-split and VRF or VRV systems. The right one depends on the building and how it’s used.
How we handle commercial air conditioning in Golders Green
Many sites need more than cooling. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR for a joined-up system. Common call-outs are for offices that get too hot in summer and fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning, on multi-split systems, wall-mounted split systems and ceiling cassettes.
London buildings in Golders Green can have little space for outdoor plant, 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 for an installation, a fault and repair note for a repair, or a record of the service. File it with the manual so it’s to hand next time.

Other services in Golders Green
Different systems, different jobs
Shops and restaurants
Shops and restaurants need comfortable customers and staff. Work can be scheduled out of hours so the doors can stay open.
VRF and VRV systems
With VRF or VRV, one set of outdoor units serves many indoor units. Each zone can be controlled separately, which suits offices, hotels and multi-room buildings.
Fixed-price quotes for commercial air conditioning in Golders Green
Your quote is based on your property. We take into account:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Whether it’s a one-off job or part of a maintenance contract
- The equipment or parts the job needs
The cost depends on the system and the number of rooms or units, the access and the parts and time the job needs. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price a simple job. Send what you can of the following:
- The fuse board and where it is in the property
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- A short video of any fault, such as a noise or a flashing light
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or email us.
What owners can safely do
There are a few things you can safely do yourself: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Write down what you notice: an error code, a new noise, a drip, a smell or a change in how well the system heats or cools. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs a follow-up is pointed out there and then. All told, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. If your building in Golders Green has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- 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.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
How to prepare

- Let us know where the consumer unit is
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Advice
Business air conditioning in Golders Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 209 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 50 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Golders Green. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. VOA council tax data put about 52% of homes across Golders Green and its surrounding area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 50% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Schools such as Rimon Jewish Primary School usually have the work done in the holidays, when classrooms are empty. For a surgery or clinic in the New End Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date.
