How we handle commercial air conditioning in Hackney Wick
Most businesses need to keep trading while the work is done. Work can be done in the evening, at weekends or in phases, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before work begins. The work covers ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted split systems and ducted systems, and the jobs we see most are older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and comms rooms without enough cooling.
In a London area like Hackney Wick, 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.
Some manufacturers make regular servicing by a qualified engineer a condition of their warranty. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight, and every service is written up.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First we check the system or the space against the plan, then the work itself, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, and that takes as long as the site and the system need, from a short install to a phased project planned around opening hours. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hackney Wick.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where necessary.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Clear access to the fuse board
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in

Business air conditioning in Hackney Wick
Food Standards Agency data counts about 428 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 13 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 36 schools and colleges in and around Hackney Wick, up to about a mile and a half out. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 65% of homes in and around Hackney Wick have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and about 82% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. London commercial jobs normally involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
Before any plant goes outside a building like St Mary of Eton, its trustees may need planning or heritage advice, and we work with whoever gives it. A bursar or site manager at a school like Mossbourne Riverside Academy will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that.

Why deal with it now?
R410A systems are still legal to repair, though supply of the gas is tightening. Planning a replacement on your own timetable beats replacing it after a major failure. Allow time for any approvals your building in Hackney Wick needs.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Systems last better with the right care. We suggest:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Note the 5-yearly TM44 date for systems over 12 kW
- Tell us early about fit-outs or changes of use
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We explain the terms for your brand, including any servicing conditions, so you know what’s needed.
Replace ageing systems on your own timetable especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.
Common questions in Hackney Wick
Can I fit air conditioning in Hackney Wick without planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. There’s a conservation area, the Fish Island Conservation Area, close to central Hackney Wick. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the planning department at Tower Hamlets council, usually the authority for Hackney Wick.
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Hackney Wick?
In many cases, yes, once the lease and the building’s rules are checked. 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.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We do not 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. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time, with records kept for each visit.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and the engineers need their own qualifications. It means the refrigerant in your system is handled legally.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: the date, the work, and any refrigerant added or recovered.
Is the equipment covered by a warranty?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
