Ducted air conditioning in Camden Town
In an older house in Camden Town, the loft and any existing bulkheads decide whether a ducted layout will work. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
For a renovation in Camden Town, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive. Camden Town lies roughly 3 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Coverage includes NW1.

Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in Camden Town usually takes one to two hours. We measure the rooms, check the walls and the consumer unit, agree the outdoor unit position with you and photograph the pipe routes. Surveys in Camden Town cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
