Air conditioning replacement and removal in Rochdale

During building work in Rochdale, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Rochdale lies roughly 10 miles from Manchester, and we cover it as part of Greater Manchester. Homes in OL16 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Rochdale, 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
The free survey is where the real price is set: room measurements, pipe and drain routes, electrical checks and the outdoor unit position, all written into your quote. 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.
