Areas
Areas we cover in London
We work across central and west London and the main office districts, from mansion flats in Westminster and Kensington to terraces in Fulham and Wandsworth, family houses in Richmond, Ealing and Barnet, and offices in the City and Canary Wharf. Each area page explains the local planning picture, the typical homes and what usually works there.
W1, SW1, W2, W9, NW8, WC2
Westminster
Air conditioning in Westminster is mostly fitted to flats in mansion blocks and converted townhouses, so the job starts with freeholder consent and a planning check.
EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4
City of London
In the City of London most air conditioning work is in offices, where the landlord controls plant space and needs a licence for alterations before work starts.
SW3, SW5, SW7, SW10, W8, W10, W11, W14
Kensington and Chelsea
Kensington and Chelsea is one of the hardest places in London to add air conditioning, but it is done all the time.
NW1, NW3, NW5, NW6, WC1, N6, N7, N19
Camden
Air conditioning in Camden usually means cooling a flat or a top floor in a period house.
W6, W12, W14, SW6
Hammersmith and Fulham
In Hammersmith and Fulham the typical job is a Victorian terrace with a loft conversion and a rear extension, where a split or multi split system cools the bedrooms from one outdoor unit on the extension roof.
TW9, TW10, TW1, TW2, TW11, SW13, SW14
Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames has more family houses than central London, so whole house systems are common: a multi split or two separate outdoor units on a detached house, which permitted development allows if the units also heat.
W5, W13, W3, W7, UB1, UB2, UB6
Ealing
Ealing has a lot of 1930s semis and Edwardian family houses with rear gardens, which makes air conditioning simpler than in central London.
TW3, TW4, TW5, TW7, TW8, TW13, W4
Hounslow and Chiswick
Hounslow sits next to Heathrow, where the Met Office recorded 40.2°C in July 2022, and many homes are under the flight path, so people keep windows shut on hot nights.
SW11, SW12, SW15, SW17, SW18, SW8
Wandsworth
Wandsworth mixes Battersea mansion flats, Victorian terraces with loft conversions and new riverside towers, so air conditioning here ranges from a licence for alterations in a mansion block to a multi split on a terrace extension roof.
N1, N5, N7, N19, EC1
Islington
Islington is dense, historic and hot.
E14, E1, E3, E2
Canary Wharf and Tower Hamlets
In Canary Wharf most homes and offices are in managed towers, so any air conditioning starts with the building manager and the lease.
N2, N3, N12, N20, NW4, NW7, NW11, EN5
Barnet
Barnet is mostly houses with gardens, which makes air conditioning simpler: one outdoor unit at the back of a semi, or two on a detached house, can be permitted development if the units also heat.
