Air conditioning replacement and removal in Sutton
During building work in Sutton, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Many London homes are flats or tall terraces, where heat rises to the top floor and the bedrooms bear the brunt of a hot spell.
Replacements in Sutton can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. Sutton sits around 11 miles from central London, inside our London area. That includes the RH5, SM1 and SM2 postcode districts.

Planning and permissions
England's rules let most houses fit an outdoor unit without a planning application, as long as the size, number and MCS 020(a) noise conditions are met. Flats, listed buildings and roof-mounted units are treated differently.
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.
