Air conditioning replacement and removal in Brighton
Replacements in Brighton can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. The South East sees some of the UK's warmest summer days, and south-facing rooms and conservatories feel it first.
During building work in Brighton, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. We cover Brighton and the rest of East Sussex, including Eastbourne and Hastings. Coverage includes BN2.
Prices in Brighton
Guide prices around Brighton run from £240 to £595 to remove and recover one system including VAT. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. Quotes move with the length of the pipe run, where the outdoor unit can sit and how much electrical work the job needs. For reference, the Like-for-like option in Brighton (replace one system using sound existing routes) usually comes to about £1,395–£2,745.

Planning and permissions
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
On a survey in Brighton 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. A survey in Brighton 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.
