Common questions in Osterley
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Osterley?
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.
Will air conditioning in Osterley need planning permission?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Osterley is in the Osterley Park Conservation Area. Since 2025, an air-to-air heat pump on a house can count as permitted development if it meets the conditions and is not used only for cooling. Listed buildings still need consent, and in a conservation area a road-facing wall or roof isn’t allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask the local planning authority (for Osterley, usually Hounslow council).
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
The refrigerant side has to be done by a qualified engineer working for an F-Gas certified company. That’s the law, not just our preference, and it also matters for the manufacturer’s warranty. We’re happy to quote for the full job, supply to commissioning.
Do I get paperwork after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record a manufacturer or the next engineer will ask to see: a dated note of the work, with refrigerant details where they apply.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. It means the system and the programme fit your building, and the quote you get is fixed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while larger systems and faults that need testing are seen on site.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It depends on the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so check the terms or ask us. Either way, keep a record of every service.
Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Osterley
The business that operates the system has F-gas responsibilities. Leak checks and records are required for systems from 5 tCO2e upwards. We carry out the checks, keep the records and tell you when the next one is due. If the problem is leak check schedules that have slipped and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, we can sort it out.
In Osterley, 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.
We are an F-Gas certified company, NICEIC approved for electrical work, with MCS certification for heat pumps and Checkatrade membership. Refrigerant work is done by engineers who hold the F-gas qualifications the law requires.

How the visit works
There’s very little for you to do on the day. Someone needs to let us in and show us the units, or where they’re going, and we take it from there. At the end, we tidy up and run through the work with you. In a London area like Osterley, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- You get a fixed-price quote with the equipment, the layout and the programme set out.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- The system goes in, from units and pipework to drainage, wiring and controls.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can meet us at the agreed time
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, and the rate that applies to your job is stated. Homes, businesses and different kinds of work can be treated differently for VAT, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
One failing outdoor unit can affect many rooms. Regular servicing finds problems early and keeps the building comfortable. Booking in spring means a home or office in Osterley is ready before the first hot week.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed price.
Why book with us
- Members of Checkatrade
- Fixed-price quotes after a survey or photos
- F-Gas certified company
- Enquiries answered the same working day
Aftercare tips
Looking after it is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Leave space around outdoor units
- Keep a log for each system
- Show staff how to use the controls properly
For systems that require leak checks, the first date goes in the diary and can include it in a maintenance contract.
A maintenance contract keeps servicing and F-gas checks on schedule. We agree the visits and the price with your quote.
Business air conditioning in Osterley

Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads.
