Air conditioning replacement and removal in Reigate
During building work in Reigate, units can be recovered and removed so the job can go ahead safely. In the South East, loft rooms and glazed extensions can climb well above the outside temperature on a sunny afternoon.
Replacements in Reigate can often reuse an existing bracket and wall opening where they are sound. Reigate sits around 16 miles from Woking, inside our Surrey area. Postcode districts we cover here include RH2.
Prices in Reigate
Air conditioning replacement and removal in Reigate typically comes in at £240–£595 to remove and recover one system including VAT, based on South East England rates. That is above the UK middle, mainly because labour and access cost more in South East England. The biggest variables are the pipe route, access for the outdoor unit and the state of the consumer unit, all of which the survey settles. As an example, the Like-for-like option (replace one system using sound existing routes) would typically be £1,395–£2,745 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
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. Surveys in Reigate cover heat gain, pipe routes, electrics, access and noise to the nearest neighbour, so surprises on the day are rare.
