Cooling for Heron Quays businesses
Food Standards Agency data counts about 512 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 12 hotels and guest houses and about 65 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Heron Quays. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 68% of homes in and around Heron Quays have been built since 2000, according to VOA council tax data, and the 2021 Census found about 93% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
If your office near Canary Wharf station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

How we handle commercial air conditioning in Heron Quays
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 doesn’t leave the room without cooling. If you are dealing with installs that must fit around trading hours and staff complaining about the temperature, we can sort it out.
In a London area like Heron Quays, 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.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

How it works
Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, and electrical work is done by us as NICEIC approved contractors. So on the day, you don’t need a separate electrician for the electrical side. The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Heron Quays in advance.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- 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 needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Before we arrive
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
Getting a quote
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.

Common questions in Heron Quays
Is Heron Quays in your area for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. We work across London and the South East from our base in East Grinstead, and Heron Quays is part of that. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Heron Quays?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
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.
How do you keep the place clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts before we leave.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Whoever operates the equipment, together with the technicians who service it. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
Leave it or put it right?
For most systems from 5 tCO2e upwards, leak checks and records are required by law. Falling behind leaves the operator without the evidence the rules expect and a maintenance contract keeps them on track. Getting the work done in Heron Quays before summer avoids the busiest weeks.
