About our commercial air conditioning in Herne Hill
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Systems at or above 5 tCO2e need leak checks, and records kept of the checks and the work done. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If the problem is systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection and installs that must fit around trading hours, we can sort it out.
London buildings in Herne Hill can have little space for outdoor plant, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: keep the outdoor unit clear, follow the manufacturer’s guidance on cleaning and book a service at the interval they recommend. That also helps where the warranty terms ask for regular servicing.

What commercial work looks like in Herne Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 439 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 70 schools and colleges in and around Herne Hill, 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. Valuation Office Agency council tax records put about 59% of homes across Herne Hill and its surrounding area before 1919, and the last census (2021) found about 57% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. London commercial jobs normally involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
A bursar or site manager at a school like Judith Kerr Primary School will want the install planned around the school calendar, and we work to that. If your office near North Dulwich station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

What else we do in Herne Hill
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Herne Hill
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Herne Hill?
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.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Herne Hill?
Yes. Herne Hill is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
What accreditations do you have?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, normally whoever owns or controls the equipment, and the service technicians. How often depends on the size of the refrigerant charge in tonnes of CO2 equivalent: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e, and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e.
How soon will you get back to me?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Floors and furniture near the work are covered with dust sheets before we start, and we tidy up as we go. At the end, we clear up and show you what we have done.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
The work takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. The survey lets us set a firm programme, so call us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier to arrange one.
Why act early in Herne Hill
In a comms room, losing the cooling can soon become serious. Reviewing the cooling and adding resilience is best done in advance. In a London building, getting the freeholder’s or agent’s agreement can take a while, so it’s worth starting early.
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- We work on all the leading brands
- 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns
- F-Gas certified company
- Clear warranty information from the manufacturer
The process
Think of the visit in three stages: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, and that takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Herne Hill in advance.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Preparing for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Plan replacements before old systems fail
- Plan the air conditioning alongside the fit-out
- Keep F-gas records together and up to date
The warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s, on its own terms. We go through the manufacturer’s conditions with you and you will know what they ask for.
Planned maintenance is the best way to keep a commercial system healthy. The schedule and cost are fixed up front.
