Air con installation in SE18

Our air conditioning service in SE18

We fit wall-mounted splits, multi-split systems, ducted systems and ceiling cassettes, plus VRF systems for bigger commercial buildings. Which one suits you depends on the space, the building and how much of the unit you want to see and we talk you through it on the survey. The work covers ducted systems, multi-split systems and VRF systems, and common reasons people get in touch are a home office that warms up with screens and equipment and portable units that are noisy and barely cope.

Refrigerant work is done by qualified engineers working for an F-Gas certified company, while the electrical side is covered by our NICEIC approval. On the day, both are in the same hands. On site, it takes a day for most single-room installations, with multi-split, ducted and cassette systems taking longer.

  1. First comes a site survey, or pictures and measurements for a straightforward job.
  2. We size the system for each room, then send a fixed-price quote with the units and where they go.
  3. On the day, we fit the indoor and outdoor units and run the pipework, cable and condensate drain.
  4. Power is wired in, the joints are proved leak-tight under pressure and a vacuum pump draws out air and moisture.
  5. Finally, it’s commissioned, tested in each mode and handed over with the F-Gas records.

What affects the price in SE18

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Faults and wear in a system tend to grow, and a struggling system uses more electricity to do less. If you are unsure, call us on 07833 053749 and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed price.

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from a site survey or, where the job is straightforward, from pictures and measurements. After that, we send a fixed price before any work starts.

Local landmarks in Plumstead

We fit and service air conditioning in homes and premises around Plumstead Common, Plumstead Manor School and South Rise Primary School.

Air conditioning across SE18: local notes

Our air conditioning work across SE18 takes in places such as Plumstead, Woolwich and Charlton and the smaller places around them. We cover every place we list for SE18, 9 in all.

Across London and the South East, we reply to enquiries the same working day, with a 24/7 emergency line for breakdowns.

Plumstead: With historic houses such as Danson House about 2.7 miles south-east, it’s a reminder that older homes nearby may be listed, which changes the planning rules. If you work from home near Plumstead station, a home office that overheats is one of the easiest rooms to cool.

Different systems, different jobs

Multi-split systems

A two-room multi-split is typically £2,800–£4,500 + VAT, and three to five rooms £4,500–£8,500 + VAT. The pipe routes to each room make the biggest difference to the price.

Ducted systems

Ducted air conditioning hides the indoor unit in a ceiling void or loft, with only neat grilles showing in the room. It’s popular where people don’t want a unit on the wall.

Signs you need air conditioning

Everything that uses electricity in a room ends up as heat. A home office with a couple of screens, or a meeting room with a few people in it, warms up quickly, even when it is not especially hot outside.

These are the situations we see most often:

  • Fans and portables that do not keep up
  • Rooms heated by plug-in heaters
  • An old system that needs replacing
  • Rooms under the roof that stay hot into the night

What air conditioning can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • A building fabric problem such as single glazing or no loft insulation
  • Central heating repairs
  • An installation that needs consent nobody has given yet

What affects the quote in SE18

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a simple split or a larger system
  • Access, including height, roofs and ladders
  • The number of rooms, units or zones
  • The electrical supply and whether a new circuit is needed

What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we look at the job first, from pictures or on a survey, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

What to send for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Any previous service or F-Gas records
  • The postcode and whether it’s a home, flat or business
  • A few photos of the room and the wall the unit is on, or will go on
  • The remote or wall controller showing any error

Some jobs can be priced from photos, while others need a survey. Multi-room systems, commercial buildings and anything with a long or hidden pipe route are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before anything goes ahead.

Common questions in SE18

When will I hear back?

On the same working day you contact us. Then we agree a date that works for you, and you get a fixed price before any work goes ahead.

Is air conditioning possible in a flat?

It depends on the building and the lease. Balconies, flat roofs and rear walls can all work, subject to consent and the survey looks at every option. This is general information, not legal advice.

Why use an F-Gas certified company?

For refrigerant work, both the engineer and the company need the right F-gas credentials. It’s worth checking before booking and we’ll gladly show you ours.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. Homeowners, landlords, agents and businesses all book us in SE18 and across Greater London. Tell us who should receive the paperwork.

Which manufacturers do you install and repair?

We work with the leading brands, including Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, LG, Samsung, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Hitachi. Send us the make and model if you have it.

Will you need to do electrical work?

Usually, yes. We check your consumer unit on the survey and include any electrical work on the quote and we install and certify the circuit as NICEIC approved contractors.

Do you cover SE18?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, SE18 included.
