- IT rooms that need resilient cooling
- Systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Lambeth has a managing agent, a concierge or sign-in rules, mention them when you book.
- You tell us about the building and what’s needed.
- We survey the site to check heat gains, layout and access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
Getting ready for the visit
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas

Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To get going, call us on 07833 053749 or send an email.

Commercial air conditioning in Lambeth
The right system depends on the building. 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. Common call-outs are for offices that get too hot in summer and TM44 recommendations that need acting on, across server and comms room cooling, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems.
In Lambeth, 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.
For a fault on a system that may still be under warranty, send us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What owners can safely do
Owners can handle the everyday basics: keep the outdoor unit clear of leaves, plants and clutter, check the settings and the remote, and follow the cleaning the manual describes. Opening up the units, the electrics and the refrigerant circuit are a job for us.
Don’t move, re-route or disconnect units or pipework yourself. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. Ask us to quote for a move instead.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Lambeth
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in Lambeth?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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 Lambeth?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Lambeth is a short walk from the Albert Embankment Conservation Area. 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 needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Lambeth, normally Lambeth council).
When will I hear back?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Is Lambeth in your area?
Yes. We work in Lambeth and across Greater London, as part of our area across London and the South East. To book, ring 07833 053749.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We don’t carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up and F-Gas records kept where they apply.
Can you look after our air conditioning after it’s installed?
We do. With a contract, servicing and F-gas checks happen on time and every visit is recorded.
Business air conditioning in Lambeth
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,821 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 110 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 105 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lambeth. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures show about 36% of homes in and around Lambeth were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 90% 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 typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
For a surgery or clinic in the Evelina London Children's Hospital area, a planned maintenance contract keeps the system clean and its records up to date. Offices near Vauxhall station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.

What affects the quote in Lambeth
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we look at the job first, from photos or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Good photos often save a visit. The most useful are:
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
Want a quote for commercial air conditioning? Please ring 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few details about the property. We’ll explain what we’d recommend and why, then send a fixed-price quote before anything is booked.
