Prices in Bow
Air conditioning replacement and removal in Bow typically comes in at £255–£645 to remove and recover one system including VAT, based on London rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in London. 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 Bow (replace one system using sound existing routes) usually comes to about £1,495–£2,945.

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
A survey in Bow 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. Surveys in Bow cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
