About our commercial air conditioning in London
There’s no single best commercial system. Wall-mounted splits suit small offices and single rooms, cassettes suit open ceilings, ducted units hide away in ceiling voids, and VRF or VRV serves many rooms from shared outdoor units. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. If you’re dealing with work raised by a TM44 inspection and offices that get too hot in summer, we can sort it out.
Business systems in London are typically installed around trading hours, evenings, weekends or in phases. Big sites can be split into stages.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: commissioning details and F-Gas records for a new system, a note of the fault and the fix for a repair, or a service record. Keep it with the system’s paperwork so it’s to hand next time.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we have done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. All told, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. We will ask about parking and access in London when we 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.
- Installation goes ahead around the business.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Have the make and model of any existing unit to hand
- Let us know where we can park and unload
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working

Commercial air conditioning in London: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 2,326 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 102 hotels and guest houses and about 93 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of London. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. VOA council tax data show about 48% of homes across London and its surrounding area were built in 2000 or later, and about 93% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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 Elephant & Castle station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.
London is in Greater London. Whether you’re in the middle of London or further out, we cover commercial air conditioning, from a single room to a whole building. We cover 764 places across Greater London, large and small.
Our nearest recent job to London was on Greenwich High Road, Greenwich (SE10), about 4 miles east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the retail area and a second unit in the stockroom and office.

What else we do in London
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in London
Can I fit air conditioning in London without planning permission?
It depends on the property. Central London is a short walk from the Trinity Church Square 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 is not covered, listed buildings need consent and conservation areas restrict outdoor units facing a road. Where needed, we check with the planning department at Southwark council, typically the authority for London.
Do you cover London for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. London is one of the places we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
What warranty do I get?
Warranty comes from the manufacturer and depends on the brand and product. Daikin, for instance, gives a standard 2 years on split air conditioning and we explain the terms for your brand on the quote.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
Every commercial job is priced after a site survey. The cost depends on the size of the space, the system and how the work is phased, and you get a fixed-price quote before work starts.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
Yes, maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and records. We agree the schedule and cost up front.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
The work takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. The survey lets us set a firm programme, and you can call us on 07833 053749 to book it.
How quickly will you reply?
You will hear from us the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What the work involves, system by system
Shops and restaurants
Shops and restaurants need comfortable customers and staff. Work can be scheduled out of hours so the doors can stay open.
Offices
Installation can be done out of hours or floor by floor to keep staff working.
Signs you need commercial air conditioning in London
Schools and public buildings often need work done in the holidays. Installation can be programmed for the holidays so lessons aren’t disrupted.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staff complaining about the temperature
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection

For a church or hall like St George the Martyr, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first.

What a customer said
“Office air con broke down in the July heatwave. Called at 8am, engineer was here by noon and fixed within 2 hours. Brilliant emergency response. They now hold the service contract for the whole building.”
