What we do, step by step
The visit goes in the diary at a time that works for you, and we let you know if plans need to move. On arrival, the engineer compares the job with the survey, your photos or the details you gave us. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, it takes anything from a day or two for a small office to several weeks of phased work on a large building. Pictures of the space and the outside wall help us plan the work in Wapping.
- An engineer walks the building with you to understand its layout, its users and its heat sources.
- A fixed-price quote follows, covering the system type, the layout and the timing.
- We agree a programme that suits the site, including evening, weekend or phased installation.
- Indoor and outdoor units, pipework, condensate and controls are installed and the electrics connected.
- We commission the system, record the refrigerant details and hand over the controls and documents.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions near the property
- Keep pets and children away from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Our prices page gives typical ranges, but your quote is based on your job, because no two buildings, rooms or systems are the same. Once we’ve looked at the job, from pictures or on a survey, you get a fixed price. To start, call us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.

Commercial air conditioning in Wapping
There’s no single best commercial system. 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. The work covers server and comms room cooling, ducted systems and VRF systems, and people most often call us about planning ahead for the HFC phase-down and work raised by a TM44 inspection.
For a business in Wapping, the legal side matters too: F-gas leak checks on larger systems, and TM44 inspections where total cooling output is over 12 kW. We keep the F-gas records and flag what’s coming up.
If a fault appears while the equipment is under the manufacturer’s warranty, tell us the make, model and installation date. We’ll explain how the manufacturer’s terms are likely to apply before any chargeable work goes ahead.

What air conditioning will not do
Not every problem is solved by commercial air conditioning, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Structural alterations to the building
- Fire strategy sign-off
- Formal planning decisions, which rest with the council
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Pricing commercial air conditioning in Wapping
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How far the pipework has to run, and where
- What state the existing equipment is in
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is looked at first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Before you get in touch
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- The address and the type of property
For a fixed-price quote, ring us on 07833 053749 or use the quote form and tell us about the property and what you need. A few pictures make it quicker. You will hear back from us the same working day.
What the work involves, system by system
VRF and VRV systems
Some VRF systems can heat some rooms while cooling others on systems designed for it. We explain whether that would help your building.
Ducted systems
Ducted systems need space above the ceiling and access for servicing so filters and drains can be reached.
Your questions about commercial air conditioning in Wapping
Do you cover Wapping for commercial air conditioning?
Yes. Wapping is one of the places we cover. Get in touch with the details and we reply the same working day.
Will air conditioning in Wapping need planning permission?
It comes down to the building and the spot chosen for the outdoor unit. There’s a conservation area, the Wapping Pierhead Conservation Area, close to central Wapping. 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 Wapping, normally Tower Hamlets council).
Who has to arrange F-Gas leak checks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Larger systems need regular checks: at least every 12 months from 5 tCO2e and every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We’ll work out which band applies to yours.
Why use an F-Gas certified company?
Companies working on equipment that contains F gas must be certified by an approved body, and each engineer needs the right qualifications too. It’s how you know the refrigerant is being handled legally and safely.
How much does commercial air conditioning cost?
We price commercial work after visiting the site. That lets us size the system properly and plan the work, and the quote you get is fixed.
What accreditations do you have?
We are an F-Gas certified company, with NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps. We are also Checkatrade members.
How often is a TM44 inspection needed?
If the air conditioning has an effective rated output over 12 kW, an inspection is required at least every 5 years. GOV.UK has guidance on how it works, and we can help you prepare.
Business air conditioning in Wapping
There are about 1,548 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 45 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses and about 98 schools and colleges in and around Wapping, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Many of those sites need air conditioning that’s sized for long hours and maintained on a schedule. About 37% of homes in Wapping 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 92% of households live in flats. In mixed streets, commercial outdoor units have to be placed and sized with the homes nearby in mind. London commercial jobs typically involve a landlord or managing agent, and plant space is often tight.
For a school like St Mellitus College, air conditioning work is best done out of term. If your office near Wapping station has a comms or server room, it needs cooling all year, not just in summer.

A customer’s words
“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.”
