How much does server room cooling cost in Greenwich?
Budget roughly £5,050–£19,150 per room (duty/standby pair) ex VAT in Greenwich. For a typical job — small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair — expect £5,050–£11,450 plus VAT. The fixed price follows a free survey.
Server room cooling is dedicated air conditioning that removes the heat produced by IT equipment around the clock, independently of the office system.
Our coverage in Greenwich
Premises in Greenwich are often in mixed-use buildings with shared roofs and tight access, so outdoor unit positions are agreed early.
That includes premises in SE10 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Blackheath (about 2 km), Canary Wharf (about 3 km) and Catford (about 4 km). In Greenwich, 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.
What the job covers
- IT load assessment (kW) and room survey
- Low-ambient kits so cooling works in winter
- Rotation and changeover controller
- High-temperature alarm or BMS / email alert
- Commissioning and maintenance plan

The steps for a project in Greenwich
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth.
Design resilience
Duty/standby units, changeover control and power supplies are designed together.
Install with minimal risk
Work around live equipment is planned with your IT team and kept clean. In Greenwich we agree timings around your opening hours.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Points to plan for in Greenwich
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Greenwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
Premises we work in around Greenwich
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
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.
Questions about server room cooling in Greenwich

Guide prices in Greenwich run from about £5,050 to £19,150 per room (duty/standby pair), plus VAT. A typical job (small comms room, 2–5 kW IT load, N+1 pair) costs £5,050–£11,450 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford?
Yes. Alongside Greenwich, we also cover Blackheath, Canary Wharf and Catford. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Greenwich?
All of them, including SE10. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
Can we get alerts if the temperature rises?
Yes. We can fit a temperature alarm that sends alerts by email or text, or connects to your BMS or network monitoring.
