Ducted air conditioning in Woking

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Woking, 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
A survey in Woking 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. We book surveys in Woking at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
