Commercial air conditioning in Hadley Wood, done properly
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. We look at the building, the people in it, the equipment and the hours it’s used, and a fixed-price quote follows. That way the system fits the site and the price is clear before work starts. The work covers multi-split systems, ceiling cassettes and VRF systems, and the jobs we see most are F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and offices that get too hot in summer.
In a London area like Hadley Wood, 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. Keep it with the system’s paperwork, because it helps with any later warranty question.

Offices
We can install in the evenings, at weekends or in phases, so the office stays open.
Ceiling cassettes
Cassettes sit in the ceiling and blow air in several directions. They’re common in offices, retail and dining areas where there’s a ceiling void.

What happens on the day
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 we do the work, and finally we test, record and explain. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in Hadley Wood.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Plan for pets to be kept clear during the visit

FAQs for Hadley Wood
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Hadley Wood?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. 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.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Hadley Wood?
It depends on the property. A conservation area takes in the middle of Hadley Wood. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Hadley Wood, normally Barnet council).
Are you F-Gas certified?
As the law requires for refrigerant work, we’re an F-Gas certified company. We’re also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes. Every job is looked at first, either on a site survey or from photos and details for simple jobs. A fixed-price quote follows.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
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.
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. The interval depends on the refrigerant charge, measured in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Keep a note of anything odd: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It makes our diagnosis quicker, and a photo of the display helps even more.
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and phone 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
