Air conditioning for period and listed homes in New Milton
In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon. If your New Milton home is listed or in a conservation area, consent comes first and we provide what the council needs to see.

Listed building consent
Listed homes in New Milton need listed building consent from the council before any work, and permitted development does not apply to them. We plan low-impact routes, keep outdoor units out of sight and provide the details a consent application needs. In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
The survey
A survey in New Milton 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 New Milton at a time that suits you, including early evenings by arrangement, and send the written quote afterwards.
