Multi-split air conditioning in Romford
Twin and triple systems suit Romford homes where bedrooms sit above the kitchen and one rear wall can take the outdoor unit. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
Multi-split is a good fit for Romford flats and maisonettes where only a balcony or one rear wall is available. Romford lies roughly 14 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. We cover RM1 and the streets around them.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
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. We book surveys in Romford at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
