How it works
Our engineers bring the tools, gauges and access equipment the job needs. You only need to give us clear access to the units, or their planned positions, and to the fuse board. On site, the work takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. A few photos of the room, the outside wall and the fuse board help us plan a job in Stepney.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- We agree the timing, with evening, weekend or phased work as needed.
- The system is installed, wired and connected to its controls.
- Commissioning and handover follow, with the F-gas records and manufacturer paperwork.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if the building has a permit or sign-in process
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records

Commercial air conditioning in Stepney
Many sites need more than cooling. Air conditioning systems can heat as well as cool, and we also install ventilation and MVHR, so the building works as a whole. If the problem is comms rooms without enough cooling and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer, we can help.
In Stepney, 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, so we go through them with you rather than leave you to find the small print.

How we price commercial air conditioning
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular service cycle
- The equipment or parts the job needs
- The type of system, from a single split to a larger system
Homes, offices, shops and public buildings are all priced the same way: what’s needed, how we reach it, the parts and the labour. Ask for a fixed-price quote and we will explain each part.
Before you get in touch
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the property is and what kind of building it is
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Any error code or flashing light on the display
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, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.
Commercial air conditioning in Stepney: local notes
There are about 1,320 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens, about 39 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 89 schools and colleges in and around Stepney, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. Valuation Office Agency council tax records show about 30% of homes in Stepney and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and about 87% of households live in flats, according to Census 2021 figures. 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 a school like Redlands Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term. Offices near Whitechapel station often need cooling for meeting rooms and server cupboards as well as the main space.

Stepney: your questions answered
Will air conditioning in Stepney need planning permission?
The answer turns on the property and where the outdoor unit would sit. Central Stepney is a short walk from the Stepney Green 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 the local planning authority (for Stepney, normally Tower Hamlets council).
Can you do commercial air conditioning in Stepney?
Yes, Stepney is within the area we cover. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form with a few photos.
Will I get records for the system?
Yes. Each visit is written up, including F-Gas records for any refrigerant work. Keep them with the manual and the warranty documents.
Do you work on commercial properties?
Yes. From a single let flat to offices, shops and public buildings, the approach is the same: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
Can I do the refrigerant work myself?
No, not the refrigerant side. The F-gas rules require certified companies and qualified engineers for it, and a new electrical circuit is notifiable building work unless a registered competent person does it.
Are you TM44 assessors?
The inspection itself must be done by an accredited energy assessor. Our part is getting the system ready and doing the follow-up work.
What warranty do I get?
It’s the manufacturer’s warranty, which varies by brand. For example, Daikin’s standard warranty on split air conditioning is 2 years, and we explain the terms for whichever brand you choose.
