Garden room and home office air conditioning in Grays
We check the armoured supply cable on every Grays garden room before quoting. The East of England is one of the sunniest and driest parts of the UK, which makes glazed rooms and lofts hard to keep cool.
Garden offices used every day in Grays need cooling in summer and efficient heat in winter. Grays is about 17 miles from Southend-on-Sea and falls within our Essex coverage. Homes in RM17 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Grays, 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
We book surveys in Grays at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards. At the survey we look at how each room is used, where the sun hits it and how the pipes can reach the outside wall, then put it all in a written quote.
