Our coverage in Islington
Islington sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
We work across Islington's postcode districts, including EC1P, EC4P, EC50, N1, N1C and N1P. We also work in nearby Highbury, Holloway and Camden Town.
In Islington, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Each visit in Islington ends with a written report: what was checked, readings taken and anything that needs attention, priced separately for you to approve.

Points to plan for in Islington
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Islington often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Islington are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
FAQs for Islington
How much does commercial air conditioning cost in Islington?
A single wall-mounted split typically costs £1,850–£3,150 plus VAT installed in Islington, and a ceiling cassette £2,750–£6,350 per unit. A small shop or office with two to four indoor units usually comes to £6,350–£20,995 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Highbury, Holloway and Camden Town?
Yes. Alongside Islington, we also cover Highbury, Holloway and Camden Town. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which refrigerant do new systems use?
Most new small split systems use R32, because new single splits under 3 kg in Great Britain cannot use refrigerants with a GWP of 750 or more. Larger systems vary by equipment.
Do you handle landlord consent?
We supply the drawings, unit data sheets and method of fixing your landlord or managing agent will ask for.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new installations and replacements on the UK mainland. Service, repair and inspection visits are priced before we book them.
