Wall-mounted air conditioning in Bakewell
The East Midlands gets warm, dry summer spells, and loft conversions and top-floor bedrooms are where the heat builds. Where a home in Bakewell faces the street, the outdoor unit usually goes at the rear, out of sight.

Planning and permissions
For most houses in Bakewell, 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 Bakewell 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. 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.
