AIR CONDITIONING SHOREDITCH
Cooling for Shoreditch workspaces, hospitality and homes.
Shoreditch packs a lot into a small area: tech and creative offices in converted warehouses, co-working floors, studios, hotels, restaurants and bars, plus loft apartments and new residential towers. Most of these spaces have big windows, exposed structure and high occupancy, which makes them warm for much of the year.
We design, install and maintain air conditioning for businesses and residents across the area, and we work evenings and weekends when an office or venue cannot close. Every project starts with a site survey and a written proposal before anything is ordered.
Offices, studios & venues
Open-plan offices, meeting rooms, server and comms cupboards, co-working spaces, photo and design studios, restaurants, bars and hotels.
Lofts & apartments
Warehouse and live/work conversions in Hoxton and around Curtain Road, and apartments in newer residential buildings near Old Street and Shoreditch High Street.

Quiet, discreet systems for dining rooms, bars and guest rooms, installed and serviced around opening hours.
SYSTEM TYPES
Air conditioning systems for Shoreditch buildings.
Warehouse offices with exposed ceilings need a different approach to modern offices with suspended ceilings. These are the systems we install most often in the area.
High-wall split systems
One indoor and one outdoor unit. Ideal for a single meeting room, a small studio, a comms cupboard or an apartment bedroom.
Multi-split systems
Several indoor units on one outdoor unit, useful where the landlord allows only one condenser position on the roof or in a yard.
Four-way cassettes
Fitted into suspended ceilings for even air distribution across open-plan offices, shops and restaurants.
Ducted and exposed-duct systems
Concealed units with grilles, or exposed spiral ducting that suits the industrial look of many Shoreditch warehouse offices.
VRF / VRV heat recovery
Whole-floor or whole-building systems with zone control, able to heat some areas while cooling others, for larger offices and hotels.
Not sure which fits?
We survey the space, check ceiling voids, roof and yard space and lease restrictions, then propose the system that suits the building and budget.
EQUIPMENT
Manufacturers we install and service.
We work with Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Toshiba, LG and Samsung equipment. If you have taken on a space with an existing system, send us a photo of the outdoor unit rating plate and we will tell you what it is and how it can be maintained.
COMMERCIAL WORK
Installations that suit busy commercial spaces.
Examples of our commercial and light commercial installations in London, from ceiling cassettes over shop displays to outdoor units at street level.

BEFORE WE START
What affects an air conditioning project in Shoreditch.
Shoreditch buildings bring a few recurring challenges. Planning for them early keeps the project on schedule and avoids surprises with landlords or the council.
Two councils, many conservation areas
Most of Shoreditch and Hoxton is in Hackney, while parts around Spitalfields and Brick Lane fall under Tower Hamlets. Both have conservation areas covering many streets, so outdoor units visible from the street may need planning permission. We check the address before fixing positions.
Landlord licences for alterations
Office and retail leases usually need the landlord’s consent before building services are changed. We provide method statements, RAMS, drawings and equipment data to support the application.
Roof and yard space
Outdoor units typically go on flat roofs, in rear yards or in basement lightwells. Space is often shared with other tenants, so access, structure and capacity are checked at survey.
Working around the business
Offices, bars and restaurants rarely close for an installation. We phase work zone by zone and schedule noisy tasks early, late or at weekends.
Exposed ceilings and listed warehouses
Many warehouse buildings have exposed brick, timber and concrete. Pipe and duct routes are designed to look deliberate, and listed buildings may need consent for alterations.
Deliveries and parking
Busy streets, red routes and loading restrictions affect deliveries and lifting. We plan access and timings with building management in advance.
OUR PROCESS
Survey. Propose. Approve. Install. Maintain.
Site survey
We walk the space with you, measure heat loads and check plant locations, routes and access.
Proposal
A written proposal with equipment, layout and a fixed quotation, ready to share with your landlord.
Approvals
We supply RAMS, drawings and data sheets for landlord, building management or planning sign-off.
Install & commission
Installation in phases or out of hours, then testing, commissioning and handover.
Maintain
Planned servicing and 24/7 breakdown support to keep the system running.
SHOREDITCH BUILDINGS
Air conditioning for each type of Shoreditch building.
Shoreditch mixes Victorian warehouses, 1990s and 2000s offices, new glass towers and older housing. Each needs a different cooling strategy.
Warehouse offices
Big windows, high ceilings and little insulation. Cassettes or exposed ducting with careful zoning usually work best.
Modern office floors
Often served by landlord plant. Tenant work tends to be extra cooling for meeting rooms, comms rooms and busy zones.
Co-working & serviced offices
High and changing occupancy, many small rooms and long hours. Individual room control matters most.
Restaurants & bars
Kitchen heat, crowded evenings and late opening. Equipment must be quiet in the dining room and serviceable without closing.
Hotels & aparthotels
Guest rooms need quiet, individually controlled units, with maintenance planned around occupancy.
Loft apartments
Converted lofts and live/work units overheat under the roof. Ducted or high-wall units can be planned around exposed features.

COMMERCIAL MAINTENANCE SHOREDITCH
Air conditioning maintenance for Shoreditch businesses.
When the cooling fails in a full office or a packed restaurant, it costs money. A maintenance plan keeps filters, coils and drains clean, spots worn parts early and gives you a clear record of every unit. We look after single offices, multi-site operators and managed buildings, scheduling visits outside working hours where needed.
Read more about how our plans work on the commercial maintenance page.
Planned preventative maintenance
Regular service visits, an asset list and a short report after each visit separating urgent defects from planned work.
24/7 reactive repairs
A phone line answered around the clock, with priority for occupied floors, kitchens and server rooms.
TM44 energy inspections
Buildings with larger air conditioning systems can need periodic TM44 energy inspections in addition to servicing. We can help you work out whether your system is likely to be in scope.
ON SITE
Brackets, pipework and finishing details.
Neat trunking, secure mounting and properly tested systems keep installations reliable and easy to maintain.

MVHR SHOREDITCH
MVHR servicing for Shoreditch apartments and mixed-use buildings.
Newer residential towers and mixed-use developments around Old Street and Shoreditch High Street often rely on mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. We change filters, check fans and controls and rebalance systems for residents, landlords and managing agents. See our MVHR servicing page for details.
