Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Canary Wharf are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Disposal
Old refrigerant must be recovered by certified engineers and the units disposed of as waste electrical equipment.
Working hours
Most Canary Wharf businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.

Do you also cover Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich?
Yes. Alongside Canary Wharf, we also cover Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Canary Wharf?
All of them, including E14 and SE16. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Is it illegal to use R22 air conditioning?
No — you can keep running an R22 system, but it cannot be maintained with virgin or recycled R22, so most repairs involving the refrigerant circuit are no longer possible.
Will a new system be cheaper to run?
Usually. Modern inverter systems are considerably more efficient than equipment from 15–20 years ago, though savings depend on use.
