Questions from South Hampstead
Can I have air conditioning in a flat in South Hampstead?
Usually, yes, though leaseholders normally need the freeholder’s agreement. 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.
Can you do commercial air conditioning in South Hampstead?
Yes. South Hampstead is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
How are commercial air conditioning installs priced?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work and you get a fixed price.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us across London and the South East. Let us know who the records should go to.
How soon will you get back to me?
You’ll hear from us the same working day. If it’s an emergency, ring the 24/7 line instead.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes. You get a written record of every visit, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. File them with the system’s paperwork.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
Check the manufacturer’s terms. Some warranty terms require the system to be serviced regularly by a qualified engineer, so it’s worth checking. Keep every service record either way.
About our commercial air conditioning in South Hampstead
The right system depends on the building. Splits for small rooms, cassettes for open-plan ceilings, ducted for a hidden finish and VRF or VRV for many zones on one system. We explain the options and why we’d choose one over another. Common call-outs are for systems that need out-of-hours or phased installation and planning ahead for the HFC phase-down, on ducted systems, multi-split systems and ceiling cassettes.
In South Hampstead, 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.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. If that applies to your system, booking the service on time keeps the record straight and each visit is recorded.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheets over the floor and any furniture nearby, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. It takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors, and we tidy up before we leave. Parking bays, permits and roof or balcony access are the first things we ask about in South Hampstead.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the indoor unit, or where it will go
- Unlock any gate, garage or side passage we need
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Photos are enough for some jobs; others need a visit first. Bigger systems, commercial sites and awkward pipe routes are normally surveyed on site. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work is booked.

Before you get in touch
Simple jobs can often be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A photo of the consumer unit with the cover closed

- The rating plate or label on any existing unit
Photos are the fastest route to a quote: the room or the existing unit, the outside wall or roof where the outdoor unit sits or would go, and the label on any existing unit. Tell us the address and what you need, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.
