Where we work around Canary Wharf
In Canary Wharf, commercial premises range from street-level shops and restaurants to offices in converted and modern buildings, many with managing agents and landlord consents to work through.
That includes premises in E14 and SE16 and the surrounding districts. Neighbouring towns we cover include Bow, Canning Town and Greenwich. Buildings across London range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.
What you get
- Survey of void depth and duct routes
- Ducted unit selection by capacity and external static pressure

The steps for a project in Canary Wharf
Survey and route
We check void depths and plan routes for supply and return ductwork.
Design the air side
Grille sizes and positions are chosen for even air flow and low noise.
Install unit and ducts
The unit is hung with access for servicing; ductwork and grilles are fitted. In Canary Wharf we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance and commission
Air flows are measured and balanced, then the system is commissioned.
Things to check in Canary Wharf
Access
Filters and the unit need access for servicing — an access panel is non-negotiable.
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.
Void depth
Low-profile ducted units can fit voids of around 250 mm, but ductwork adds depth. We measure the route as well as the unit position.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Typical premises in Canary Wharf
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
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.

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.
Can one ducted unit serve several rooms?
It can, but every room then shares one thermostat. Rooms with different uses are better on separate units or zones.
Is ducted AC quiet?
It can be the quietest option, because the unit is away from the room. Correct duct sizing and attenuation make the difference.
