About our commercial air conditioning in Plumstead
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. We’re often asked to deal with buildings that can’t close for the work and ageing air conditioning that keeps breaking down, across server and comms room cooling, multi-split systems and ducted systems.
In Plumstead, 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.
Warranty on the equipment is the manufacturer’s own, on the manufacturer’s terms, and we set them out on your quote. Terms differ from brand to brand, and we are happy to talk you through them.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: diagnose, treat and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then we do the work, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. Most of the time goes on the middle part, which takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Send us a few phone pictures and we can often price a straightforward job in Plumstead before visiting.
- First comes a site survey of the building, its occupancy and the heat it has to deal with.
- The written quote is fixed and lists the plant, where it goes and the order of works.
- 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.
- Commissioning, F-gas records and a handover of the controls finish the job.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Arrange for someone to be there to let us in
- Move furniture away from the wall where we will be working
How to get a quote
VAT is set out clearly on every quote, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, give us a ring on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Advice
Keeping the system healthy
A little care keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Call about warning signs right away
- Track when the next TM44 inspection is due
We show your team how to use the controls, so the system is run the way it was designed. Simple settings make a real difference to comfort and running.
Keep filters clean and plant areas clear. Blocked filters and obstructed outdoor units make the system work harder.
What affects the quote in Plumstead
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
- What state the existing equipment is in
- The brand, model and parts involved
Our prices page shows typical ranges, but each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed-price quote, and we will talk you through it.
Before you get in touch
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
- The make and model of the system, from the label
- The paperwork from the last service, if you have it
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the inside and outside of the property where the work is, plus the rating plate of any unit already there. Tell us the address and what you need, and many jobs can be priced from that.
Different systems, different jobs
Ceiling cassettes
A cassette needs space above the ceiling and a route for the condensate. Many include a pump to move the water away, which we check on every service.
Server and comms rooms
IT equipment produces heat around the clock, so the cooling has to run continuously. The design is based on the equipment’s heat output.
Commercial air conditioning around Plumstead
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 167 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 48 schools and colleges and about 41 care, childcare and hospital premises within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Plumstead. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. The Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures put about 39% of homes in Plumstead and the neighbourhoods around it before 1919, and the 2021 Census found about 59% of households live in flats. 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.
Around Plumstead station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs. For a school like South Rise Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

Plumstead questions
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Plumstead?
Typically, 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 Plumstead?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. Central Plumstead sits inside a conservation area. Permitted development only covers heat pumps that aren’t used solely for cooling, and not within the grounds of a listed building. Conservation areas add limits on outdoor units facing a road. Where necessary, we check with Greenwich council, which is normally the planning authority for Plumstead.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a system failing in a server room or water leaking from a unit, ring our 24/7 line and we will agree what happens next.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold F-Gas company certification, which the law requires for any business working on refrigerant. We are also NICEIC approved, MCS certified for heat pumps and Checkatrade members.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, we work the same way: a look first, a fixed-price quote and written records.
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.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Splits, multi-splits, cassettes, ducted units and VRF from the major manufacturers. We set out the choices after surveying the site.
