Air conditioning replacement and removal in Notting Hill
Units over fifteen years old in Notting Hill homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. London's dense streets hold heat overnight, so top-floor flats and loft rooms often stay warm long after sunset.
Replacements in Notting Hill can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. We cover Notting Hill as part of London, roughly 4 miles from central London. We cover W11 and the streets around them.
Prices in Notting Hill
Our London guide price for air conditioning replacement and removal is £255–£645 to remove and recover one system, VAT included. London is one of the dearer parts of the UK for trades, which shows in the range. Longer or hidden pipe runs, high-level brackets and electrical upgrades are the usual reasons a quote lands at the top of the range. For reference, the Like-for-like option in Notting Hill (replace one system using sound existing routes) usually comes to about £1,495–£2,945.

Planning and permissions
Since 29 May 2025, England's permitted development rules allow larger outdoor units (up to 1.5 m³) and no longer require a 1 m gap to the boundary, provided the MCS 020(a) noise check is met. Listed buildings and pitched-roof installs still need permission.
The survey
A survey in Notting Hill 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 Notting Hill cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
