How we handle commercial air conditioning in Somers Town
Businesses can’t always stop for an installation. We plan out-of-hours, weekend and phased installs, so the building keeps running. The programme is agreed before any work starts. If the problem is fit-outs and refurbishments that need new air conditioning and systems over 12 kW due a TM44 inspection, we can help.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Somers Town included, so condensers often go on roofs, in light wells or in plant rooms. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units, which helps in dense areas.
Looking after a system is mostly common sense: clear space around the outdoor unit, the cleaning the manual describes and a service at the recommended interval. It also keeps you on the right side of any warranty terms that ask for servicing.

What affects the quote in Somers Town
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The pipe route between the units
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a system working harder than it should costs more to run. If you are unsure, ring 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk and we will give you an honest view and a fixed price.
Before you get in touch
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- A close-up of the unit’s label showing the model number
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.

What owners can safely do
On air conditioning, the filters in the indoor unit are typically the one part owners can clean where the manufacturer’s manual explains how. With the power off, they lift out, can be vacuumed or rinsed and must be fully dry before they go back. On a heat pump, the equivalent is keeping the outdoor unit clear and checking the controls.
Leave the units and pipework where they are. Moving a unit involves the refrigerant circuit, so it needs an F-Gas qualified engineer, and the electrics need care too. If you need something moved, we can quote for it.
Somers Town: your questions answered
Can I fit air conditioning in Somers Town without planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. Central Somers Town is a short walk from the King's Cross and St Pancras 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 Somers Town, normally Camden council).
Do you cover Somers Town for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Somers Town is within the area we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for breakdowns that cannot wait. Ring 07833 053749 any time and explain the problem.
Do you provide ongoing maintenance for businesses?
We do. A contract keeps the system serviced and any required leak checks on schedule and every visit is recorded.
Do I need to service the system to keep the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Read the manufacturer’s terms, or send us the make and model and we’ll explain them, and book the service at the interval they recommend.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Are you TM44 assessors?
We do not carry out the inspection itself, as it needs an accredited energy assessor. What we do is prepare the system and carry out the improvements the report suggests.
What commercial work looks like in Somers Town
Food Standards Agency records list about 3,151 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 160 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 79 schools and colleges in and around Somers Town, up to about a mile and a half out. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. Census 2021 figures found about 92% 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.
For a church or hall like St Mary's Church, any outdoor unit needs the right consents first. If you look after a school such as St Mary and St Pancras Church of England Primary School, classroom, office and IT room cooling is typically installed in the holidays.

How it works
The visit has three parts, a bit like a doctor’s appointment: look, put right and sign off. First comes a careful look at the system or the space, then the work itself, and finally everything is tested, recorded and explained. The middle part takes longest, which takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. Photos of the room and where the outdoor unit could go let us plan most of a visit to Somers Town in advance.

For landlords and property managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease or tenancy agreement normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
Whether it’s one property or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, access agreed with the people on site and paperwork at the end.
