Air conditioning for flats and apartments in Hounslow
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. Newer blocks in Hounslow with balconies are often the simplest flats to fit.
In Hounslow apartment blocks, the freeholder's consent is usually the first thing to sort out. Our London coverage takes in Hounslow, about 10 miles from central London. That includes the TW3, TW4 and TW6 postcode districts.

Guide prices show VAT at 20%.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Consent and planning for flats
Leaseholders in Hounslow usually need the freeholder's consent for anything fixed outside, and blocks of flats often need planning permission for outdoor units. In England, permitted development allows one outdoor unit of up to 0.6 m³ on a block of flats; anything more needs planning permission.
The survey
A survey in Hounslow 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. On a survey in Hounslow the engineer looks at room size, glazing, the route for pipes and drains, the electrics and where the outdoor unit can sit quietly, then the written quote follows.
