Air conditioning replacement and removal in Richmond
Units over fifteen years old in Richmond homes are worth replacing before they fail completely. The urban heat island effect means London bedrooms can stay uncomfortably warm on summer nights.
During building work in Richmond, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Richmond lies roughly 8 miles from central London, and we cover it as part of London. Homes in TW9 are all within our coverage.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Richmond, 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
A survey in Richmond 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. 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.
