Commercial air conditioning in Woolwich
Heating, cooling and fresh air often go together. Most modern systems can heat and cool, and ventilation and MVHR can be designed alongside for a joined-up system. The work covers VRF systems, wall-mounted split systems and server and comms room cooling, and people most often call us about server rooms running too warm and older systems on refrigerants that are getting scarcer.
Space for outdoor units is tight in much of London, Woolwich included, so roofs, light wells and basements are common positions. VRF systems keep outdoor plant down by serving many rooms from few outdoor units.
The records are your system’s health record: what was fitted or found, what was done and when. If anything goes wrong later, it helps the next engineer and the manufacturer, so keep it safe.

What air conditioning won’t do
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Building work beyond the installation itself
- Acting as the energy assessor
- Planning permission or landlord consent on your behalf
If in doubt, give us a ring on 07833 053749 and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Ducted systems
- VRF systems
- Multi-split systems
- Ceiling cassettes
- Wall-mounted split systems
- Server and comms room cooling
Leave it or put it right?
A well-planned programme lets the building stay open while the work goes on. Waiting for a failure removes that choice. Allow time for any approvals your building in Woolwich needs.
Several rooms, units or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every unit or room you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed price.

What happens on the day
Wherever the system can be run before we leave, we run it and check it in operation. Then we explain what was done and answer your questions, and anything that needs attention later is pointed out. The visit takes a matter of days for a modest fit-out, with larger buildings phased floor by floor or zone by zone. A note on parking and access helps us plan a visit to Woolwich.
- We start with the details of the building and the problem.
- A site survey confirms the heat load, the layout and the access.
- We set out the options, the price and the programme.
- We install around your hours, phased where needed.
- The system is commissioned and maintenance can be arranged.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking and loading
- Give us access to the outside wall, roof or yard where the outdoor unit sits
- Dig out any previous service or F-Gas records
Getting a price
Every quote shows the VAT clearly, with the rate that applies to your job. VAT can differ between homes and businesses and between kinds of work, so we confirm it in writing rather than guess. For a fixed-price quote, call 07833 053749 or fill in the contact form.

Questions from Woolwich
Do I need permission to put air conditioning in my flat in Woolwich?
Often, yes, but the lease and the freeholder typically have a say. We look at where the outdoor unit could go, such as a balcony, flat roof or rear wall, and write it up for the freeholder or agent.
Will air conditioning in Woolwich need planning permission?
It depends on the property. The centre of Woolwich is in a 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 local planning authority (for Woolwich, normally Greenwich council).
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that cannot wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you set up regular servicing?
Yes. We offer maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system and the manufacturer need. Each visit is written up, with F-Gas records where refrigerant work is involved.
Which manufacturers do you install and repair?
The main ones, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. For new systems, we recommend a brand and model to suit the job and tell you why.
Do you look at the job first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what’s needed, where things go and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you provide F-Gas records?
Yes, on every job. New installations come with commissioning details, F-Gas records and warranty information, and repairs and services get a record of the work.

Common problems we fix in Woolwich
For hospitality, comfort is part of the experience. Dining rooms, bedrooms and function rooms all have different patterns of use and that shapes the system and the controls.
What we’re most often called about:
- Installs that must fit around trading hours
- Offices that get too hot in summer
- Work raised by a TM44 inspection
For a school like Mulgrave Primary School, air conditioning work is best done out of term.

Cooling for Woolwich businesses
There are about 192 restaurants, cafés and canteens, about 3 hotels and guest houses and about 54 schools and colleges within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Woolwich, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Restaurants, hotels, schools and care settings each need cooling designed for their hours and heat loads. VOA council tax data show about 31% of homes in Woolwich and the neighbourhoods around it were built in 2000 or later, and the last census (2021) found about 72% of households live in flats. Where shops and offices sit below or beside homes, outdoor plant position and noise need extra care. In London, commercial installs often need landlord consent, agreed plant positions and out-of-hours working.
Clinics, dental practices and pharmacies around British Hospital for Mothers and Babies (about 0.5 miles west) typically want quiet indoor units with filters that are simple to keep clean.
