Commercial air conditioning for homes and businesses in Streatham
Commercial air conditioning is a big part of what we do, for businesses in Streatham and the rest of Greater London. That includes offices, shops, restaurants, hotels, schools and server rooms, and each one gets a system chosen for how the space is used. If you are dealing with F-gas leak checks and records that are overdue and workspaces that overheat on warm days, we can sort it out.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Streatham 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.
Some warranty terms depend on the system being serviced regularly by a qualified engineer. Where yours does, a regular service with us keeps that side in order and each visit is recorded.

Let and managed properties
Records are where property maintenance often slips. Each visit is written up, plus the F-Gas records where refrigerant is involved, so you can show what was done and when.
Larger air conditioning systems in buildings need more than servicing: systems with an effective rated output over 12 kW need a TM44 inspection by an accredited energy assessor at least every 5 years. We arrange the inspection, get the system ready and put right anything it picks up.

What we do, step by step
If the system has to be off for part of the visit, we tell you before we start so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. On site, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Some blocks in Streatham need contractor details in advance, so tell us what your building needs.
- We survey the site and talk through how each area is used.
- You get our recommendation and a fixed price.
- 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
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Mention any roof access, ladders or high-level work
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed-price quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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. Add the address and what you’d like done, and simple jobs can often be priced without a visit.

Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Streatham
Can you fit air conditioning in a London flat in Streatham?
Normally, 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.
Will air conditioning in Streatham need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Streatham is a short walk from the Streatham High Road and Streatham Hill 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 needed, we check with the local planning authority (for Streatham, usually Lambeth council).
Can you do our TM44 air conditioning inspection?
We are not accredited energy assessors, so we don’t inspect. We help before and after, preparing the system and acting on the report.
Why does F-Gas certification matter?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. Ask to see proof before you book anyone and we will gladly show you ours.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. From one rented home to commercial buildings, we work the same way: survey or diagnosis, a fixed price and proper paperwork.
How much time does a commercial air con install need?
It takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. The size of the building, the system and any phasing make the biggest difference and the programme comes with your quote.
Do you protect the property while you work?
We put dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work first, and the area is kept tidy throughout. Before we leave, we clear up and run through the work with you.
What you can do yourself, and what needs us
Before you call us about a fault, a few checks can save a visit: is the system in the right mode, is the set temperature sensible, are the remote’s batteries working and has the breaker tripped. If a breaker trips again after you reset it, leave it off and phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
For air conditioning, cleaning the indoor unit’s filters is the main job owners can do, if the manual says so. 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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book a maintenance contract to keep servicing on schedule
- Agree sensible control settings for each area
- Review older R410A systems before they need major repairs
After commissioning, you get the F-gas records, handover notes and the manufacturer’s paperwork. Keep them together for future servicing and inspections.
Plan replacements before old systems fail especially where top-up refrigerant is getting harder to buy.
