In Leatherhead, a flat-fronted unit is a neat way to add cooling to a living room without a bulky white box. Leatherhead sits around 10 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. Coverage includes KT22.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
