Ducted air conditioning in Notting Hill
In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep. For a renovation in Notting Hill, the best time to plan ducted cooling is before the plasterers arrive.
Ducted systems suit Notting Hill loft conversions and new extensions where ceilings are being boarded anyway. Notting Hill is about 4 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. We cover W11 and the streets around them.

For most houses in Notting Hill, the outdoor unit is permitted development if it passes the MCS 020(a) noise check (37 dB(A) or less at the nearest neighbouring window) and stays within the size and number limits. We run that check on survey.
The survey
Surveys in Notting Hill cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare. A survey in Notting Hill usually takes one to two hours.
