Tower Hill questions
Will air conditioning in Tower Hill need planning permission?
There’s no single answer: the building and the outdoor unit position decide it. Central Tower Hill sits inside the Tower Conservation Area. Put simply: reversible systems on houses can be permitted development, cooling-only ones cannot, listed buildings need consent, and conservation areas limit outdoor units facing a road. When your property needs a decision, we contact the City of London Corporation, which is normally the planning authority for Tower Hill.
Do you cover Tower Hill for commercial air conditioning?
Yes, Tower Hill is within the area we cover. Tell us a little about the job and we will take it from there.
How long does a commercial installation take?
A typical installation takes a few days for a small shop or office, longer for VRF across several floors. Phased or out-of-hours work may extend it though it keeps disruption down.
Can landlords and managing agents book you?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting and managing agents, and businesses of every size in Tower Hill and across Greater London. Let us know who the records should go to.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
The threshold is 12 kW of effective rated output, with inspections at least every 5 years. The inspection is done by an accredited assessor, and we do the follow-up work.
Can you look at a system you didn’t fit?
Yes. Systems fitted by other companies are fine, on all the main brands. Tell us the make and model and send any paperwork you have.
Will skipping a service affect the warranty?
It can, for some brands. Send us the make and model and we’ll tell you what the manufacturer expects and stick to the interval they set.
Commercial air conditioning in Tower Hill
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 set out the choices and the reasons behind our recommendation. Common call-outs are for older systems that can’t keep up and IT rooms that need resilient cooling, across ducted systems, server and comms room cooling and multi-split systems.
In Tower Hill, 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.
Any work on the refrigerant circuit is recorded: what was done, the refrigerant type and any amount added or recovered. File them with the system’s paperwork, as a manufacturer or a future engineer may ask to see them.

What commercial work looks like in Tower Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 2,368 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 81 hotels and guest houses and about 107 schools and colleges within about 1.5 miles of central Tower Hill. Kitchens and dining rooms gain heat quickly, and hotels need quiet units in guest rooms, so each is designed for its use. About 49% of homes in Tower Hill and the neighbourhoods around it have been built since 2000, according to Valuation Office Agency council tax records, and the last census (2021) found about 93% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Around London Fenchurch Street station, an office brief might cover an open-plan floor, meeting rooms and a comms cupboard, each with its own needs. Healthcare premises near London Bridge Hospital need air conditioning that’s easy to clean and maintained on a schedule.
Tower Hill is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. We cover Tower Hill for commercial air conditioning, along with the rest of Greater London. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Tower Hill is one of them.
Not far from Tower Hill, a recent job of ours was on Greenwich High Road, Greenwich (SE10), about 4 miles south-east: installing a Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted unit in the retail area and a second unit in the stockroom and office.
Every address in SE1, E1 and E1W is covered. You will find streets such as Bush Lane, Swan Lane and Mark Lane, all of which are in our area.

Further out, we also cover City of Westminster (3 miles west), Marylebone (3 miles west), Kensington (5 miles west) and Walthamstow (6 miles north-east).

What commercial air conditioning can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different answer:
- Plumbing beyond the condensate drainage
- Fire risk assessments
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The F-gas rules share responsibility for leak checking between the equipment’s operator and the service technicians. Where a building is let or managed, the lease or contract should make clear who looks after the system, and we can work for either side.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the agreement for who looks after the system. We are happy to deal with either side and send the records to whoever needs them.
What we do, step by step
Where something has to be switched off during the work, we agree it with you first so it doesn’t catch you out. In a business, work can often be done one area at a time. The work takes from a couple of days for a few cassettes to a planned programme for a whole building. In a London area like Tower Hill, parking and access are worth sorting out before the day.
- First comes a survey, looking at the building and how it’s occupied.
- We recommend a system and send a fixed-price quote.
- The programme is agreed, including any out-of-hours or phased work.
- We install the units, pipework, drainage, electrics and controls.
- We commission the system and hand over the F-gas records and controls.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, high walls or locked plant areas
- Keep pets out of the rooms we are working in
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

“Excellent service from start to finish. Two wall-mounted units installed in our home. Clean, tidy work: they protected all the floors and left no mess. The systems work brilliantly. Would highly recommend.”
