Server room cooling is dedicated air conditioning that removes the heat produced by IT equipment around the clock, independently of the office system.
Stratford and surrounding areas
Stratford sits within London's dense commercial fabric: shopfronts, offices above, studios and venues, where outdoor unit positions and access need careful planning.
That includes premises in E15 and GL20 and the surrounding districts. Nearby, we also cover Bow (about 1 km), Canning Town (about 3 km) and Canary Wharf (about 3 km). In Stratford we work with offices, shops and hospitality premises, from a single room to a whole floor; each job starts with a heat load check rather than a guess from the floor area.
What is included
- IT load assessment (kW) and room survey
- Duty/standby (N+1) unit design
- Low-ambient kits so cooling works in winter
- Rotation and changeover controller
- High-temperature alarm or BMS / email alert

The steps for a project in Stratford
Measure the load
We read the IT and UPS load and allow for growth. For sites in Stratford we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Test failover
We test the changeover and alarms before handover.
Local points to consider
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
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.
Typical premises in Stratford
- 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.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Questions about server room cooling in Stratford
How much does server room cooling cost in Stratford?
Guide prices in Stratford 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 Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf?
Yes. Alongside Stratford, we also cover Bow, Canning Town and Canary Wharf. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Stratford?
All of them, including E15 and GL20. 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.
What temperature should a server room be?
ASHRAE guidance recommends equipment inlet air of about 18–27°C. Many small rooms are set at around 21–24°C to leave headroom if a unit fails.
