Air conditioning in SE10: how it works
Think of it as diagnose, treat and sign off: the survey diagnoses what the rooms need, the installation is the treatment and commissioning is the sign-off. The sign-off includes testing every mode, showing you the controls and handing over the F-Gas records. The work covers VRF systems, ducted systems and air-to-air heat pumps, and the jobs we see most are not knowing which system, size or brand to choose and a system on old refrigerant that’s due for replacement.
We keep the work area tidy as we go, with dust sheets down and offcuts and packaging cleared up. Any holes, fixings or cable routes are agreed with you before we drill. The visit takes anything from a day for one room to several days for a multi-room or ducted system.
- We survey the property, or work from your photos for a simple job.
- Output, positions and price are settled before anything is booked.
- Sheets go down first, then the indoor unit and the condenser are mounted.
- We run and connect the pipes, cable and drain, then pressure test and evacuate the circuit.
- We commission, show you the controls and leave the F-Gas and warranty paperwork.
What you’ll pay
One room or a whole building, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the equipment. You will have a fixed price before any work starts, and the quote sets out the VAT.

How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address and the type of property, photos of the rooms or units, the brand and model of anything already fitted and anything you’ve noticed, such as an error code or a noise. Once you have those, phone us on 07833 053749 or write to us at info@aircondoctor.co.uk.
Around Greenwich
Locally, jobs take us to houses, flats and workplaces close to St Mary's Church, Island Gardens and Meridian Primary School, among other places. Nearby too are Royal School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (within half a mile north-west), The Plume of Feathers pub (within half a mile north), John Roan School (under half a mile east) and St. Paul's (1.1 miles west). There’s a railway station in Greenwich itself: Maze Hill station. Other landmarks nearby include Greenwich Castle (within half a mile south-west) and Greenwich District Hospital (0.5 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Tower Hill and Creekside Discovery Centre.
Where we install in SE10
In SE10, we install in places such as Greenwich, St Johns and Deptford and well beyond. Every place on our SE10 list (17 in all) is covered.
Enquiries from SE10 get a reply on the working day they arrive. Breakdowns can go to the 24/7 line instead.
Greenwich: If you commute from Maze Hill station and work from home on other days, one wall-mounted unit in the home office is often all that is needed. Living close to St Mary's Church? Some older properties in parts like that are protected, and the survey finds out whether yours is.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re thinking about air conditioning for a property in SE10, there’s no need to wait for a heatwave. Installation takes about a day for a single-room system, longer for multi-room and ducted systems, and we agree a date that suits you after you’ve accepted the fixed price.

Fixed-price quotes for air conditioning in SE10
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The distance and route between the indoor and outdoor units
- Which make and model is being fitted or worked on
- The size of the job
- The condition of any existing system
Height, access and the distance between the indoor and outdoor units all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few pictures of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
- Where the outdoor unit is, or where you’d like it
- Your consumer unit or fuse board
- Any previous service or F-Gas records
For air conditioning in SE10, phone 07833 053749, or email if that’s easier. Tell us what kind of property it is and what you’d like done, and send a few photos if you can. We reply the same working day.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than sell you work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A lack of fresh air (most split systems recirculate room air rather than bringing fresh air in, which is a job for ventilation)
- Heat loss through very poor insulation (a system will heat the room, but insulation is a separate job)
- Work that needs permission from a landlord or the council
Rented and managed buildings
Under the GB F-gas rules, responsibility for leak checks is shared between whoever operates the equipment and the engineers who work on it. In a let or managed building, it’s worth agreeing who that operator is, and we can work for either side.
Portfolio owners often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so work at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Questions from SE10
Can I have air conditioning in a flat?
Often, yes, but there are extra steps. You’ll usually need the landlord’s or management company’s consent for the outdoor unit and the pipe route and the lease will say. Permitted development rules for flats are also tighter than for houses, so we point out anything that may need permission on the survey. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I need planning permission?
Sometimes. Heat pumps and cooling-only units are treated differently, and so are flats, listed buildings and conservation areas. We point out anything that may need permission at the survey and the council makes the decision. This is general information, not legal advice.
Can the outdoor unit go on a roof or at ground level?
The position is agreed on the survey, not on the day. It must have clear airflow and space for servicing, and walls or roofs facing a road can raise planning questions. We’ll tell you what to check before we fit it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule and quote for it. That can include the leak checks the F-gas rules require for larger systems.
How quickly will you reply?
We reply to enquiries the same working day. For a breakdown that can’t wait, call our 24/7 emergency line.
What does it cost to install air conditioning?
A single-room split system is typically £1,200–£2,200 + VAT. Two rooms on a multi-split are typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT, including supply, installation, commissioning and F-Gas documentation. The price is fixed before work begins.
Do I need a new electrical circuit?
Most systems need their own supply from the consumer unit. Adding a new circuit is notifiable building work under Part P unless it’s done by a registered competent person, and as NICEIC approved contractors we install and certify it as part of the job.
