About our commercial air conditioning in Seven Dials
Every commercial job is commercial systems priced after survey. The survey covers the space, its occupancy, its heat sources and its opening hours, and a fixed-price quote follows. So you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs. If you’re dealing with work raised by a TM44 inspection and F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue, we can help.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Seven Dials included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems can serve many indoor units from a small number of outdoor units.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We will explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before anything chargeable is done.

FAQs for Seven Dials
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Seven Dials?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder normally have a say. Permitted development rules for flats are tighter than for houses, so we check the outdoor unit position and give you the details to send to the freeholder or managing agent.
Is air conditioning in Seven Dials permitted development?
That depends on the building and where the outdoor unit goes. The centre of Seven Dials is in the Seven Dials (Covent Garden) Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones can’t, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the local planning authority (for Seven Dials, normally Westminster council).
Do you protect the property while you work?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Does servicing affect my warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Which accreditations do you hold?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, plus Checkatrade membership. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
Systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection at least every 5 years. An accredited energy assessor carries it out, and we can prepare the system and act on the report.
Which commercial systems do you fit?
Wall-mounted, multi-split, ducted, cassette and VRF systems from leading brands. We explain the options after a site survey.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from tools and test equipment to ladders and dust sheets. All we ask is clear access to the units, or to where they’ll go, and to the consumer unit. The visit takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Before a visit in Seven Dials, we ask where the van can stop and how we reach the outdoor unit.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the manual or the paperwork for the system, if you have it
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Tell us about any building rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
System by system
Ducted systems
A single ducted unit can feed several grilles, depending on the layout.
VRF and VRV systems
VRF (variable refrigerant flow), also called VRV, connects many indoor units to shared outdoor units. Rooms can have their own temperature settings making it a common choice for larger buildings.
What commercial work looks like in Seven Dials
There are about 4,016 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 235 hotels and guest houses and about 79 schools and colleges within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Seven Dials, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. About 49% of homes across Seven Dials and its surrounding area were built before 1919, according to the Valuation Office Agency’s council tax figures, and about 96% 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. For London businesses, plant position, noise and access are planned with the building first.
For premises near Tottenham Court Road station, we plan plant positions and working hours with the landlord or managing agent first, where there is one. Churches and halls such as Soho Baptist Chapel are often used a few hours at a time, which suits a system that heats or cools a space quickly, once consents are in place.

Owner checks or an engineer?
Some faults have simple causes you can check first: check the mode, the set temperature, the remote’s batteries and the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, leave it off and call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.
Write down what you notice: error codes, noises, drips, smells or a drop in performance. It helps us diagnose quickly, and a photo of the display helps even more.
