How air conditioning works in SE1
We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. The right choice depends on the rooms, the building and how visible you want the indoor units to be and we talk you through it on the survey. We are often asked to deal with commercial rooms that are too warm for staff and a home office that warms up with screens and equipment, on ceiling cassettes, multi-split systems and VRF systems.
The first job on site is protection: dust sheets over floors and furniture near the work, and we ask before moving anything. After that, anything electrical is made safe and we start. The work on site takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer, and we clear up before we go.
- First the diagnosis: a survey of the rooms, the walls, the outside and the electrics.
- Then the prescription: the right system and size for each room, on a fixed-price quote.
- Then the work: units up, pipes and drain run, and a new circuit where necessary.
- Testing: the circuit is pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant is released.
- The sign-off: commissioning, a walk through the controls, and the F-Gas records and warranty details.

Air conditioning across SE1: local notes
Across SE1, from Aldgate, Bermondsey and Elephant and Castle to the villages, homes range from older terraces and cottages to new estates and flats. Each install starts with a survey of the rooms, the walls and where the outdoor unit can go.
SE1 is part of a working area that runs from Greater London to the Sussex coast and out to Oxfordshire and Essex. One phone number covers all of it.
Bermondsey: Plenty of people near London Bridge station split the week between the train and a spare room, and that spare room is often the first to get a unit. Mansion House (roughly 1.3 miles north-west) shows the area has its share of heritage. A listed home needs consent before an outdoor unit or pipework goes on.
What we’re called out for in SE1
Most overheating comes from heat gained through the day. Sun through large windows, roof lights and glazed doors is the biggest source in many rooms, and the heat lingers long after the sun has moved round.
It’s time to call us if you are dealing with:
- Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night
- Expensive direct electric heating
- A home office that warms up with screens and equipment
- An old system that needs replacing
Different systems, different jobs
Electrical supply
The fuse board is looked at during the survey, so any extra electrical work is on the quote rather than a surprise on the day. Older boards sometimes need more work to take a new circuit and we will tell you if yours does.
Wall-mounted split systems
Wall-mounted units suit bedrooms, living rooms, home offices and small commercial rooms. We choose the position for even airflow and easy filter access, and away from where the air would blow straight onto people.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Damp or condensation caused by leaks or poor ventilation in the building (that needs the cause fixing)
What affects the cost of air conditioning
Typical ranges are on our prices page, but every job is priced on its own. The quote depends on:
- The brand, model and parts involved
- Access, including height, roofs and ladders
- How many units are involved
- The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed
The pipe route, the height of the units and how we reach them can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your installation or service records
- The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
- Photos showing the indoor unit and the space around it
For a fixed-price quote, ring 07833 053749 or use the quote form with the address and a few details about the rooms or units involved. Photos help a lot. We reply to enquiries the same working day.
Your questions about air conditioning in SE1
Is SE1 in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, SE1 included.
Will you make a mess?
Protection goes down first: dust sheets over floors and anything close to the work. Any drilling is agreed with you first, and we clear up the dust and offcuts when we finish.
Should I choose wall-mounted, ducted or cassette?
It depends on the rooms and the building. Wall-mounted splits suit single rooms, multi-splits run several rooms from one outdoor unit, ducted systems hide the unit in the ceiling, and cassettes suit offices and larger rooms. We recommend one on the survey and explain why.
Whose job is it to check the system for leaks?
The operator of the equipment, working with qualified engineers. Systems below 5 tCO2e fall outside the set leak check intervals, while larger ones need checks at least every 12 months, or every 6 months from 50 tCO2e. We will work out which band applies to yours.
What does F-Gas certified mean?
For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before you book, and we’re happy to show ours.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job for simple work, while bigger systems and repairs that need testing get a visit.
Are you F-Gas certified?
F-Gas company certification, NICEIC approval for electrical work and MCS certification for heat pumps, and we’re Checkatrade members. Engineers who handle refrigerant hold their own F-gas qualifications as well.
