Air conditioning replacement and removal in Thamesmead
Units over fifteen years old in Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. Thamesmead sits around 11 miles from central London, inside our London area. Homes in SE2 and SE28 are all within our coverage.
Prices in Thamesmead
Budget around £255–£645 to remove and recover one system including VAT for air conditioning replacement and removal in and around Thamesmead. 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

The survey
