Commercial air conditioning in Holloway, done properly
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Holloway and the rest of Greater London. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms and we choose the system to suit the space and the way it’s used. Common call-outs are for R410A systems getting dearer to top up and changes of use that need a new layout, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and wall-mounted split systems.
In Holloway, as anywhere in England, larger systems need F-gas leak checks, and over 12 kW of cooling a TM44 inspection is required. We keep the records and tell you what’s due.
Refrigerant work is written up in the F-Gas records: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. Keep the records with the manual and the warranty documents, ready for the next service or a warranty query.

Common questions in Holloway
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Holloway?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder usually 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.
Can I fit air conditioning in Holloway without planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Holloway is in a conservation area. A system that heats as well as cools may not need an application on a house, provided it stays within the permitted development limits. Cooling-only units get no such allowance, and listed buildings and road-facing positions in conservation areas need more care. We speak to the local planning authority (for Holloway, usually Islington council) when it matters.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Where the air conditioning is over 12 kW, an inspection is needed at least every 5 years. It’s carried out by an accredited energy assessor, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
Can I fit air conditioning or a heat pump myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P unless a registered electrician, such as a NICEIC approved contractor, does it.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We’re not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We can prepare for the inspection and put right what it finds.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. Every visit is written up, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Do you work in Holloway?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Holloway included.
Rented and managed buildings
Running several properties is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams in offices, schools and public buildings across Greater London. Larger buildings can be done in stages to keep disruption down.
Why it’s worth doing now in Holloway
Phased and out-of-hours installs cost planning time, but they keep the business running. Waiting for a failure removes that choice. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Holloway early.
Putting several jobs into one visit often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed price.

Commercial air conditioning around Holloway
Food Standards Agency records list about 834 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 19 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 49 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Holloway. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. About 52% of homes in and around Holloway were built before 1919, according to VOA council tax data, and about 82% of households live in flats, according to the last census (2021). 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.
If you look after a school such as Grafton Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays. Churches and halls such as St Joseph and St Padarn's Church are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.
Holloway is about 2 miles north-west of Hoxton, in Greater London. Anywhere in N7, we can help with commercial air conditioning. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Holloway is one of them.

The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. For a job in Holloway, tell us about parking, permits and access to the building when you get in touch.
- 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.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
- Make sure we can reach the consumer unit or fuse board
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Disconnecting a system means dealing with refrigerant, which only a qualified engineer can do, and the electrical side needs a competent person. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Owner care supports servicing; it does not replace it. Clean filters and a clear outdoor unit help the system run as it should, but the refrigerant circuit, the electrics and the parts you can’t see still need an engineer at the interval the manufacturer recommends.
From one of our customers
“Very professional from the initial survey through to installation. The engineer explained everything clearly and the quote was exactly what we paid. Would not hesitate to recommend AirCon Doctor.”
