Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Honor Oak
There’s no single best commercial system. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. The work covers multi-split systems, ducted systems and wall-mounted split systems, and people most often call us about older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer and commercial systems near the end of their life.
In Honor Oak, 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 F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
Think of the paperwork as the system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer and it’s worth keeping safe.

Let and managed properties
Where a tenant occupies the property but the landlord owns the system, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the paperwork can go to both.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor is required at least every 5 years for systems over 12 kW. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.
Business air conditioning in Honor Oak
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 257 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 71 schools and colleges and about 76 care homes, nurseries and hospitals within about 1.5 miles of central Honor Oak. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. About 54% of homes in and around Honor Oak were built before 1919, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and about 55% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. London commercial jobs typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
If you look after a church or hall such as Church of St Augustine, an air-to-air system that warms up quickly can suit a building used on and off, subject to the right consents.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day. Just let us in and point us to the units, or to where they’ll be fitted, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and we explain what we have done. Let us know who controls access to the building in Honor Oak, as that saves time on the day.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- On site, the team mounts the plant, runs and proves the pipework, and wires the controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
How to prepare
- Mention any managing agent or landlord rules we need to follow
- Keep pets out of the rooms we’re working in
- Tell us about parking and loading

When to call us in Honor Oak
A fit-out, refurbishment or change of use often means rethinking the air conditioning. More people, new walls or extra equipment alter what the system has to cope with and the system needs to match the new layout.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Comms rooms without enough cooling
- Planning ahead for the HFC phase-down
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
For a school like St Francesca Cabrini Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.
What your quote should include
- Whether the electrical work is done by a registered contractor, such as NICEIC approved
- Which VAT rate the quote uses, and why
- Whether the manufacturer’s warranty depends on regular servicing

Questions from Honor Oak
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Honor Oak?
Normally, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is planning permission needed for air conditioning in Honor Oak?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The Honor Oak Rise Conservation Area is close to the centre of Honor Oak. An air-to-air system used for heating as well as cooling can be permitted development on a house if it meets the conditions, but a cooling-only unit isn’t covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with the planning department at Lewisham council, usually the authority for Honor Oak.
What F-gas duties does a business have?
The duties depend on how much refrigerant the system holds. From 5 tCO2e, leak checks and records are needed, and from 500 tCO2e automatic leak detection is required.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, with visits planned around the site. For breakdowns, there’s a 24/7 emergency line.
Do you work on systems someone else installed?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine from all the leading brands. Send us the make and model, and any records you have.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Honor Oak and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
Who is responsible for leak checks?
Responsibility is shared between the operator, typically 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 yearly for 5 to under 50 tCO2e, and every 6 months for 50 to under 500 tCO2e.
