Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Romford
Once a system is in, it needs looking after. Maintenance contracts cover servicing, F-gas leak checks and the records that go with them, at a price fixed with your quote. Our 24/7 emergency line is there if something goes wrong. The work covers VRF systems, ceiling cassettes and ducted systems, and people most often call us about work raised by a TM44 inspection and R410A systems getting dearer to top up.
In Romford, 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.
Equipment warranty comes from the manufacturer, on its own terms, and we explain those terms on your quote. Each brand sets its own conditions, and we are happy to talk you through them.

Do you need commercial air conditioning in Romford?
Offices and shops often gain heat from people, lighting, computers and sun through the windows and windows alone can’t always shift it. Air conditioning sized to the actual heat gain keeps the space comfortable.
Common reasons people call us include:
- TM44 recommendations that need acting on
- Leak check schedules that have slipped
- Older systems that can’t keep up
Healthcare premises near Oldchurch Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.

Commercial air conditioning in Romford: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 210 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 7 hotels and guest houses and about 29 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Romford. Each of those is a different cooling job, from kitchen heat to quiet bedrooms and server rooms. VOA council tax data show about 30% of homes in the Romford area were built in 2000 or later, and about 49% of households live in flats, according to the 2021 Census. 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.
If your office near Romford station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

The process
Testing is the last part of the visit wherever the system can be switched on. Then we show you what we’ve done and answer any questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Romford.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- The options, cost and timing are set out in a fixed-price quote.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- We commission it, hand it over and can set up a maintenance contract.
How to prepare
- Let us know if the units are on a roof, a high wall or in a locked area
- Move furniture away from the wall where we’ll be working
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
FAQs for Romford
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Romford?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically 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.
Do I need planning permission for air conditioning in Romford?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. There’s a conservation area, the Romford Conservation Area, close to central Romford. 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 is not allowed under those rules. If there’s any doubt, we ask Havering council, which is usually the planning authority for Romford.
Do you work on all makes?
Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Hitachi and others. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and explain why.
When is a TM44 inspection required?
Over 12 kW, a TM44 inspection is needed at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works, and we can help you prepare.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of each visit, and any work on the refrigerant circuit goes in the F-Gas records. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in Romford and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.
Do you install in the evenings or at weekends?
Yes. Work can be scheduled around your hours, including phased work floor by floor.
What owners can safely do
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call us on 07833 053749 or drop us a line.
Refrigerant is off limits for anyone without the right qualifications. The law requires anyone working on equipment containing F gas to hold the right qualifications, and the company to be certified, and refrigerant lines can cause cold burns. If you suspect a leak, switch the system off and call us.
Why it’s worth doing now in Romford
Phased and out-of-hours installs cost planning time, but they keep the business running. Leaving it until a system fails can mean urgent work at the worst moment. Consents in London blocks can take time, which is another reason to plan the job in Romford early.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
