Air conditioning replacement and removal in Brixton
Units over fifteen years old in Brixton homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. In London, heat soaks into brick and concrete during the day and comes back out at night, which is when it is hardest to sleep.
Replacements in Brixton can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. Brixton is about 2 miles from central London and falls within our London coverage. That includes the SW2 postcode district.
Prices in Brixton
In London, our guide range for air conditioning replacement and removal is £255–£645 to remove and recover one system, including VAT. 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. As an example, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) would typically be £1,495–£2,945 here.

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 Brixton 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. 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.
